The timetable for the ongoing 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examinations indicates that candidates will be taking their essay and objective examinations in agricultural science on Thursday, May 18, 2023, between 2pm and 5pm. Then, on Friday, May 26, 2023, between 9:30 am and 1pm, they are expected to be examined in practical agriculture in the examination.
In the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, school farming was a major component of the schools’ curriculum, and there were no exemptions as to who participated in practical agriculture and who did not. All pupils and students trooped to the farms at the designated time.
This will help to reduce apathy toward farming. Agric-school clubs such as the ‘Young Farmers Club’ can also be encouraged, where pupils and students will be taught about farming and encouraged to own farms. These steps could help ‘catch them young’ and inculcate the love of farming in young ones. Participation in agriculture competitions could also challenge the pupils/students to perform better.
