Consequent on the weaknesses observed from the candidates’ scripts, the Chief Examiners recommended as follow:

Only competent graduates of Fisheries should be saddled with the responsibility of teaching the subject in Senior Secondary Schools;

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.
