Have your say on agricultural education

Victorian teachers and educators are invited to have their say on the effectiveness of agricultural education and training as part of a parliamentary inquiry. The Victorian Parliament's Education and Training Committee is examining the issue of agricultural education in Victoria and will consider what improvements can be made in this area.

The Committee will review the types of courses offered in Victorian schools, the vocational education and training sector, higher education institutions and other informal education and training environments.

Submissions to the Inquiry close on 30 September 2011. For more information about the Committee or to make a submission to the Inquiry, visit www.parliament.vic.gov.au/etc or phone (03) 8682 2823.
