This article explores how secondary school Geography education helps to instill values, particularly Sustainable Development Values (SDVs) in Malawian citizens. The study was guided by Mezirow’s (1900) Transformative Learning Theory (TLT), adopted a mixed-method approach and fell under the pragmatic research paradigm. It involved 78 secondary school Geography teachers and 38 former Geography students as participants. This project was conducted in 35 secondary schools in two districts (Mzimba north and Nkhata bay) of Northern Education Division. Semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and document analyses were used to collect qualitative and quantitative data. The study findings reveal that most success criteria in both junior and senior secondary school Geography syllabuses do not promote the SDVs. In addition, though most Geography teachers indicated that they are knowledgeable of the geographical values, they do not plan and consider addressing them when handling their Geography lessons.
