Abstract

The provision of Agricultural Education in the United Kingdom is reviewed from the establishment of the first Chair of Agriculture in 1790 up to the present time. This includes the establishment and development of agricultural education institutions over the years. Similarly the range of course provision, originally focusing on agriculture but now providing for the whole range of the Land-based industries is surveyed. Full time and part time courses now offered range from agricultural studies in schools to degree and post-Graduate qualifications. Particular reference is made to the programmes of education and training which are currently available in Management and Supervisory studies. The paper concludes by referring to the new National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) in subjects relating to the Land-based Industries and new General National Vocational Qualifications (GNVQs) which are currently being developed in this subject area. Finally, a number of questions are posed about possible future developments in Agricultural Education in the UK.
