Strengthening and Expansion of Agricultural Education Services
14. Given the role of agricultural education in preparing technical experts for a wide range of agricultural development activities – both in the public sector and with private enterprises - it is considered critical for the future of agriculture in Myanmar that technicians and professional emerging from this system be trained to the highest level possible. A central element of the sub-sector strategy must therefore include attention to the strengthening and expansion of the agricultural education system, including identifying key support areas required by the various existing educational institutes (YAU and the State Institutes), as well as evaluating the justification for expanding the SAI network to divisions or states which are currently not served by an SAI.
