Keywords:
Pathway, Ethical, Re-Orientation, Education, Peaceful Co-ExistenceAbstract
National policy on education was meant primarily to be a tool for guiding Nigeria and its education. One of its objectives was categorically stated that the quality of instruction at all levels should be oriented towards the inculcation of certain values, among which, is faith in man's ability to make rational decisions. This study attempts to appraise that ability of man to make rational decisions vis-à-vis peaceful co-existence among Nigerian citizenry. The article discovers that a lot of the ills within the Nigerian society stem out of man's inability to make proper and rational decisions most often and posits ethical re-orientation, which involves a total over-hauling of our societal values, as a pathway to achieving education for peaceful co-existence.
