Abstract

Recent negative developments in Nigerian public education call for concern. Issues such as cultism, examination malpractices, and strikes require urgent attention. This study investigated a faith based altern ative by the Seventh -day Adventist (SDA) Church in Remo, Ogun state in southwestern Nigeria. Christian education as practiced by the SDA church is based on what they refer to as holistic education in which the spiritual, social, and physical dimensions of training are added to the cognitive and affective aspects of learning. The role of SDA education is spelt out and their teachings on Creationism, Vegetarianism, Physical fitness and work/study which are implemented particularly at the higher levels of education. These features, some of which had also been espoused by 19 th century educational reformers like Johann Pestalozzi and Horace Mann form the bedrock of Christian education of the Adventist hue. Some of these components of education are particularly useful in resolving the contradictions in Nigerian public education and useful to students in later life. Keywords:
