Abstract


The plethora of social ills in every human society all over the world is on the increase. Nigeria as a human society has had her fair share of moral depravities. This is evidenced in rampant examinations malpractices, bribery, examination sorting, robberies, and assassinations even of high profile people. The challenges of these social and moral degradations being witnessed and reported are strong indicators of the rapid downward slide on the scale of moral standards. The rate at which these corruptions spread is alarming due mainly to the advent of the internet and mass media which are available in every nook and cranny of even low per capita income economies of the world. The home, school, religious, society and state organizations are the culprits. Parents, care givers and the general public have failed to adopt or partially implemented axiological foundations of the Judeo-Christian model of education. The thrust of this paper is that this ugly trend may be arrested if the Nigerian educational system will as a matter of urgency reinvent the wheels of her education policy thrust.
