Discussion and conclusion
Planting spacing for corn was much wider than the recommended and the plot had many weeds. Plot for planting beans was not prepared. We advised the teachers to supervise weeding and prepare the plot for planting beans.
We also suggested students selected to participate in the CVP to have at least 3 year existence in the school in order to learn the program effectively. Form fours cannot participate fully because they don’t have enough time to see the impact of the learned practices.
