Results indicated significant (p ≤ 0.05) difference in theory course between the pre-test and post-test academic performance of the students (3.3 > 1.96) and in practical course (5.0 > 1.96). There was also significant (p ≤ 0.05) difference between the academic performance of the students in both theory and practical courses (5.0 > 1.96). On gender performance, there was no significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) between male and female students (1.6 < 1.96 and1.3 <1.96) in theory and practical courses. The result indicated that gender (male and female) is not a strong factor in the performance of NCE II students in agricultural education.
