%X This paper attempts to explicate the importance of choice in the business of education. Using philosophical method, the paper critically analyzes the concept of choice in the existentialist¡¯s philosophy with particular reference to some shortcomings of the school of thought. Apart from the limitations inherent in the existential concept of choice, it is the writer¡¯s position that a system of education based on the existentialist concept of choice will make the learners realize that choice makes them the creator of their own world; bring in the learner the need for prior deliberation so as to make meaningful decisions; encourage the spirit of self-reliance; recognize the worth and dignity of the learners; enable the learners apply critical thinking rather than bow before the pronouncement of an authority amongst others.
