The paper examined value-added education and Nigeria sustainability. A country can hardly achieve a meaningful development without a committed investment in her human capital through education. However, education with only paper knowledge, without values and creative minds, is worthless. The present traditional education, inherited from Nigerian colonial masters, seems to have failed to fulfill the purpose for which it is established. The paper stresses the importance of value-added education to take its place in the present day Nigeria. To guide the study, two hypotheses were formulated. Descriptive research design of the survey type was adopted for the study. All the stakeholders in education in Ondo State formed the population for the study. The sample was made up of two hundred (200) respondents, selected through a purposive sampling technique. The instrument for the study was a self-constructed questionnaire titled “People Perception of the Value-Added Education and Sustainability in Nigeria Questionnaire (PPVESQ)”. It had a reliability coefficient of 0.76. Data collected were analyzed using t-test and Pearson Product Moment Correlation statistics. Results of the study showed that: (i) there was a significant relationship between value-added education and Nigeria sustainability (r=0.734; p<0.05). (ii) There was no significant difference in criminality between educated and non-educated Nigerian youths (tcal=1.25; p>0.05). It was concluded that value education is quite germane to sustainability in Nigeria. It was recommended that, value-added education is given a priority in Nigeria, to produce graduates who, apart from being self-reliant would be able to contribute to the growth and development of the country.
