NEXUS BETWEEN EDUCATION AND ETHICS: ISLAMIC LAW PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Year-in-year-out, scholars are being produced from Nigerian Tertiary Institutions. These scholars are well equipped with adequate knowledge. Our decadent environment has revealed that most of our scholars explore their acquired knowledge with no regards to ethics as if ethics is dispensable. This call for great concern. This paper, in addressing the issue, relied principally on doctrinal method. The paper examined the nexus between education and ethics from Islamic law perspective. The paper contends that education and ethics are inseparable both in theory and practice. The paper suggests, amongst others, that the Nigerian Tertiary Institutions should revisit the inculcation of ethics in their various curriculum.
