Stakeholders in Nigerian socio-political economy have continued to call for attitude change in the way of life of the people. This call is necessitated by the fact that the level of corruption in Nigeria has reached a very critical stage. The situation seems to be defying solutions. Of recent however, researchers have been making suggestions on ways to bring about attitude change. Some of these suggestions are based on age-long popular social science theories. In this paper, it is argued that attitude change of a people can be achieved through the channel of school education. This position is canvassed after a critical examination of some theories on attitude and attitude change. Based on this, the study adduced evidence using secondary data sourced from text books, journals and internet materials to support the position .The paper concludes by suggesting some classroom activities and techniques derivable from the attitude theories and pedagogy which have proved effective in facilitating the teaching of attitudes in schools.
