Is it necessary for a human being to have moral and practical education?

If humans do not have moral and practical qualities, then they are just like any other living being. These two qualities are what give a human being his identity. No matter how much professional education we acquire, but unless we have moral and practical knowledge, professional education is of no use. Throughout history, philosophers and educators have debated the ideal balance between these two domains. Thinkers like Confucius, Aristotle, and Rousseau emphasized that knowledge without virtue is incomplete. In more recent educational frameworks, moral education has been integrated into curricula through citizenship classes, ethics programs, or character education, while practical education is seen in STEM fields, trades, and life-skills training. Modern societies rely on both types of learning. Moral education supports the development of socially responsible citizens, while practical education prepares individuals to navigate work, family, and civic life. This conversation intersects with developmental psychology, pedagogy, and public policy, and invites reflection on the role of schools, families, and communities in shaping both the inner character and outer competencies of individuals.
