Adejumo (1976), some studies and
researches have been carried out to determine the factors influencing the
achievement of Agricultural Science. Among these factors is the role of gender
in science and technological courses and comes up that the performance of the
students was independent of gender.
Therefore, it is important to note
that the concept of sex role and teachers influence when considering the
effects of gender on students academic achievements in school.
Sofolahan and Odunsi (2001) and (20020
stated that the positive influence caused by gender differences to the academic
performance of student is very definite and that there is no conclusive
evidence that understanding of science is “sex based”.
It has been observed that female
question for social science was seen as compromise with societal expectation
and the needs to choose career, which filled in line with marriage.
Furthermore, the relatively small
number of science and science related occupation is a common feature all round
the world.
Beothroyd and Chapman (2005) stated
that countries with higher female enrolment rates have showed lower facility
and materials, morality and higher life expectancy than countries with low
female enrolment rate.
