Consequent on the identified weaknesses observable in the candidates’ scripts, the Chief Examiners made the following recommendations:

  • Fisheries should be taught as a practical oriented subject through laboratory activities, field trips, excursions etc; and
  • Adequate facilities and textbooks on Fisheries should be made available to enhance the teaching – learning of Fisheries in Senior Secondary Schools.
