Significant difference was identified in economic values, aesthetic values, social values and religious values where as the two streams were not found distinctive in regards to theoretical values and political values and their attitude towards education. It was also concluded that there is a correlation between values and attitude towards education of both engineering and teacher education students. To sum up our values, belief and attitude constantly blend with each other. Integrating and harmonizing our value system is what makes a successful attitude and attitude towards education is the result of various values inculcated in us.
