Abstract
This research work examines teacher's assessment of the adequacy of social studies contents in curbing moral problems among upper basic schools students in the Ilorin metropolis of Kwara State. The descriptive type of survey was carried out in the investigation of this study. Social Studies teachers in the Ilorin metropolis constituted the population while 104 Social Studies teachers were selected from 34 upper basic schools in the Ilorin metropolis. A researcher's designed questionnaire was used in the collection of the required data for the study. The result obtained from the finding revealed that constant lateness to school, fighting with another student, cheating during the examination, dishonesty, poor attendance to classes, and public displays of lack of respect for teachers and administration are some of the common immoral problems prevalent in the school. It was recommended that the school management should also put strict measures in place to curb immoral acts among the students in the school, and the teachers should also put in their best behaviours to be worthy of emulation.
