Sažetak
Nowadays, in the age of materialism, young people are insufficiently acquainted with moral categories and ethical values. Therefore, the education crisis we have found ourselves in would be greatly reduced if values were better promoted in younger generations, mostly in educational institutions. The paper discusses the very concept of values and its classification, young people today, and the significance of the role the teachers and school have in promoting values. The task that schools have, and especially teachers, is to take the leading role in promoting universal human values (such as love, liberty, welfare, honesty, sincerity, peace, etc.) through specially designed curricula, activities and examples, but above all, by setting an example by their own behaviour. A good teacher should have impact on the rational and emotional dimension, and willingness of each student, so they could acquire the patterns of moral behaviour and actions. We are well aware that without value-oriented young generations we can neither expect healthy, conscientious and moral society, nor prosperity of our country.
