| dc.description.abstract | This paper explores, in detail, one of the findings of a 1980 survey as it pertains to Jamaica. This concerns real entry qualifications for college, poor levels of academic performance at college, and less than desirable attitudes to nutrition education. Additional data were collected from college students and from college records (1979-1983). Nutrition education was interpreted in the college context as home economics and cookery. The study confirms the paucity of students who opt for nutrition education courses. The findings suggest that there was a general feeling that nutrition education is a "female" and low-prestige subject, although some respondents thought men would make as good teachers and should be encouraged into the field. Attainment and entry qualifications tended to be better in single-sex than at co-educational institutions | |
