Students of agriculture in britain

In Britain there are three types of agricultural education.

1.County farm institutes for vocational training give one-year courses. There are about 2000 students in England and Wales, two main agricultural areas.

2.Five agricultural colleges provide two-year diploma courses.

Every agricultural college cooperates with some leading farmers in student practical training.

The future students usually have twelve months of practical work on farms after finishing secondary school. Yearly in September all the young men and girls who want to study at an agricultural college are asked to come to the college for a three-day conference. At this conference all aspects of college life are discussed. After the conference the future students go to work on the farms for one year.

Farmers who cooperate with the college in student practical training are also gathered in the college to discuss all the problems of students’ training.

Those who want to become students of the college must usually pass the examination in one of the subjects that has not been studied at school. The future students have to attend day or evening classes on that subject.

Working on the farm every future farmer must have his diary. Daily the students are to write down in the diaries what is done and seen on the farm. These diaries are examined before the students begin to study at the college.

The college prize is given annually to that student who, during his precollege training showed the best knowledge of farming.

3.Most of the universities have faculties of agriculture where experts and teachers in Agriculture are trained.

Oxford University provides for Agricultural Science courses too. The Honour School of Agriculture and Forest Sciences takes three years. But only thirty undergraduates can be accepted annually. There are weekly field and farm classes throughout the year here and vacation courses on land use, soil science, applied eco

logy etc.
