Abstract: Agricultural sector in Kenya has continued underperformed yet it is the backbone of the country's economy contributing to approximately 27% of the economy hence being taken as one of the big 4 agenda targeted by 2030 vision. Women play a crucial role in the agricultural sector as they form a larger proportion of the small scale farmers apart from being the major source of labour in the agricultural sector. Despite their major role in the agricultural sector women farmers still face a lot of challenges in terms of agricultural knowledge and access to other factors of production e.g. land. Agriculture teaching in secondary school was introduced to generate interest in farming among students in their later life studies have also shown low proportion of girls undertaking agricultural courses in secondary schools and there is speculation that this could be challenges faced by agricultural women farmers.

Abstract: Government policies exert a great influence on the path taken in curriculum development and implementation. One area which has received attention is that of instructional resource development and use.. There has been a trend towards improvisation of instructional resources especially in developing countries where many issues stand against use of commercially sourced resources. Governments encourage teachers to improvise the media resources where applicable. However, teachers have not embraced the call wholeheartedly. There exists a large number who do not appreciate the essence of improvisation in teaching and learning. Even among those who have heeded to the governments' calls, there still exist loopholes in how the resources are developed. The researchers in this study sought......
