Just as we have different subjects such as languages, social sciences, science, maths etc in schools, we should also have biographies as a subject. Every year students can learn about some great people. I guess students won't have this subject for all the 10 years or so of school life, but having such a subject during the formative years will indeed be valuable.
Who then will the students read about? Here the state and the education board will have a say. Such a scheme is prone to political/religious propaganda by the state/government, but then there is no other way. Surely depending on which government is in power, the definition of 'great people' will change.
Nevertheless, I think it will have a considerable impact on the students and will help shape their personality.
