WAEC GCE Agric Questions Syllabus:

This syllabus is designed to emphasize learning practical knowledge and skills, presenting agricultural science as an applied science.

Assuming you've reviewed the junior secondary school agricultural science curriculum, candidates will face inquiries covering each subject in the syllabus.

The notes here aim to give an idea of the question range but should not be seen as a complete list of restrictions and examples.

Institutions teaching agricultural science must:

• Establish a farm for crop cultivation.
• Keep at least one ruminant species and one non-ruminant species.
• If possible, have a fish pond.

Candidates should maintain practical notebooks with records of individual activities, lab work, observations on school farms, and details from field trips and specimen collection.

Continuous evaluation of candidates is recommended to enhance the teaching/learning process and candidate performance.

Considering the primary goals of the Senior Secondary School Agricultural Science Curriculum, which are to:

1. Foster and maintain students' enthusiasm for agriculture.
2. Equip students with relevant knowledge and practical skills for future studies and careers in agriculture.

It is advised to include visits to reputable government and private experimental and commercial farms, agricultural research institutes, and other institutions related to agriculture as part of the study of Agricultural Science at the Senior Secondary School.
