Associate of Science Degree in Agricultural Education Programme

The Associate degree in Agricultural Education Programme aims to educate and train teachers of Agriculture for the Secondary Schools in Jamaica. CASE offers the programme in collaboration with the Joint Board of Teacher Education (JBTE). Students pursue the Agricultural courses as offered to the students in the General Agriculture programme as well as the pedagogical courses offered for the Secondary Teaching Programme

Career Options: It is expected that all candidates graduating from this programme will find employment in the secondary school system, thereby satisfying the strong demand for teachers in this specialised field. With the critical role that agriculture plays in the national development of the country, this is undoubtedly an important field in which to challenge young minds to become engaged.
