There is therefore the need for values education of the coming generation in order to halt the negative trend. The paper critically explored some approaches to values education that are available in literature and in practice with an eye on the Nigerian situation with a view to proposing a paradigm of values education that would make values permeate the entire life and culture of schools. The paper advanced that, bearing in mind the fluid and ubiquitous nature of values, they tend to be inherent in all subjects and activities within the school system. The paper highlighted with examples how values can be integrated into and also be teased out of the content as well as the methods of teaching school subjects in the arts, mathematics and sciences. Recommendations were made for institutional support for values education, training and retraining of teachers in alignment with the role of a teacher as a moral compass for learners, review of teacher education curriculum and creating conducive social environment for inculcation of positive values of society.
