Abstract
This research focused on Assessment of social Attitudes and Values as tools for citizenship transmission. It covers all the Jss11 and Jss111 public secondary school students in Niger state. The research aimed at finding the opinion of male and female students on their assessment of social attitudes and values as tools for citizenship transmission. The study was also guided by three research questions and three hypotheses. A sample size of 324 respondents was used, it was selected through a stratified random sampling from a population of 32,684. A survey research design was used, because the researcher made use questionnaire, which consists of four sections, which include demographic data, social values, social altitudes and citizenship transmission. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while independent sample t-test was used to test the hypotheses, the Ibm spss was used in statistical analysis at p < 0.05 level of significance, two hypotheses were retained while two were rejected. Jss11 and Jss111 students differ in opinion while urban and rural students differ in opinion regarding social altitudes and values as tools for citizenship transmission. It was recommended that equal opportunity should be given to both male and female students especially by curriculum developers so that everyone should be able to develop his or her competency, to acquire the necessary skills attitudes and values capable of managing state apparatus. The spiral and concentric nature of Social Studies curriculum should be continued, when teachers are teaching on social attitudes and value is not the same method that they would use in both JSSII and JSSIII because each level has its own curriculum. Educational facilities and other social services should be evenly distributed in both urban and rural areas, because the availability of social media with the current technological development in the urban centres the students can imbibe certain attitude and values, compare to their rural counterpart
