Heritage education is not merely recreation for students but should be an important part of their learning process. It will help them understand history and society and will inculcate values of respect for diversity and tolerance. While it is important to highlight aspects of national heritage, it is also important to bring local heritage into the purview of heritage education programmes. Very limited resources are required for the most basic heritage education programmes. But most heritage activities, like heritage walks and heritage clubs can go a long way in helping the students to experience culture and heritage and bring alive many of the things they hear and see.
