Good Practices in Transforming African Agricultural Universities and Faculties
18 January 2008
There is a broad consensus on the importance of transforming university agricultural education to make it more relevant to sustainable rural development, and to the changing demands of a globalising world and decentralised, market-driven economies. The universities need to produce graduates with a sense of responsibility for the renewal of rural communities and capable of developing and implementing new ideas - of generating employment rather than seeking employment. Agricultural education needs to move away from the transfer of information to the development of skills in accessing and applying available knowledge and training students to continually update their knowledge and skills for a rapidly changing world.
