JSS2 Agriculture have been developed in such a way that they describe the intended learning outcomes and assessment practices for the Junior Secondary Phase within the science mainstream. The learning experiences and subsequent outcomes in the natural science subjects are tailored towards promoting the learners’ knowledge and understanding of the economic, social, physical and biological world of which they are a part. The Agriculture syllabi for Junior Secondary Education therefore integrate natural science, social, economic, physical, mathematical and technological learning areas of the broad curriculum.
The themes and topics in the Agriculture curriculum embrace content matter in all other subjects across the
curriculum. Under ideal conditions, the Agriculture syllabi for Jss1 – JSS3 would require 4 periods per
week, with at least one double period. The main aim of the Agriculture syllabi in the natural science area is therefore to provide essential scientific background for our learners with the hope of producing the much-needed scientists and agriculturalists for the country.
