Abstract       Â
This study examined students’ perception of the effectiveness of adopted school programme in Oyo state. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaires from 90 respondents using multi-stage procedure. Data were subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistics at p=0.05. The results show that 72.2% of the respondents were between 15-16 years, 51.1% were in SS2 and mostly females (58.1%). Also, 48.9% owned farm at home and 61.1% were from farming background. The students were exposed to maize (77.8%), cassava (77.8%), poultry (66.7%), fishery (44.4%) and rabbitry (44.4%). Major constraints were lack of interest (=2.00), inadequate equipment in agricultural laboratory (=1.93) and lack of home garden (=1.82). More than half (55.6%) of them were favourably disposed to the programme while respondents’ farming background (r=3.740, p ≤ 0.05) was significantly related to their perception of the programme. Recommendation is that WAAPP officials should focus more attention on educating these students in areas that are more technologically inclined.
Keywords: West African Agricultural Productivity Programme, Adopted schools project, students’ farmers.
