ABSTRACT
This is a highly significant time to be talking about the nature and places of values in schools and other educating institutions in our modern plural societies. If there was ever a need for educative leadership in values issues there is one now, given the kinds and magnitude of changes and challenges that those societies and their educational institutions are facing. In values matters these changes are so large-scale and their effects in society so manifest that facing them calls for little short of a revolution in our educational thinking and planning. It is towards helping educators make a start on facing the challenges posed in and by the revolution that has accompanied the emergence of modern plural societies that this chapter is addressed.
