Produktbeschreibung
Agriculture was the mainstay of the Nigerian economy before the oil boom era of 1970s. The oil boom led to a decline in Agricultural practice and education. To stem the tide, agricultural educationists and agricultural economists have been formulating policies aimed at bringing back Agriculture to its lost enviable position. One of these policies, from the education standpoint, was the inclusion of Agricultural Science as one of the vocational subjects in senior secondary schools. This was to enable students acquire practical agricultural skills that would make them self reliant in future and also contribute significantly to the nation's GDP. This book, therefore, provides an analytical approach to the study of Agricultural Science education in secondary schools of Ibadan, a major city in South-West Nigeria. It conducts studies on challenges confronting the development of the subject, attitudes of students to the subject and their academic performance in the subject. Also, relationship between their academic performance and attitudes was studied. The book creates a platform for informative debate on issues relating to the development of Agricultural Science education in Nigeria.
