Abstract

There is no gainsaying the fact that the consciousness of people in any society determines their existence. Such consciousness is greatly affected by the quality of education and human capital development. The consequence of poor educational foundation, therefore, portends danger for the development of such a society. This paper examined the absence of ethical, creative and critical thinking skills at pre-tertiary level of education in Nigeria and showed that this has been responsible for the skewed behaviours of youths who are regarded as future leaders. The method of critical and conceptual analysis was employed while the review of existing literatures provided the background to the discussion. The paper called for the introduction of the teaching of ethical, critical and creative thinking of the type provided by philosophy at the pre-tertiary level of education (primary and secondary) in Nigeria.
