New Four Year Agriculture
Program for Ontario Schools
In September, a new blue-
print for agriculture will be
presented to the schools in Ont-
ario. For the first time, students
will be able to take agriculture
as the major subject in the
Four -Year Science, Technolo-
gy and Trades program and
qualify for a Secondary School
Graduation Diploma at the end
of Grade 12 with the designa-
tion of 'Agriculture'.
The announcement of the
new policy was made by the
Hon. William G. Davis, mini-
ster of education, in a speech
officially opening an addition
to the Fergus High School on
March 10.
Mr. Davis said, "The new
program will place emphasis
on technical and business
courses useful to a boy who is
planning to remain on the
farm. It will include, in an
expanded form, the science -
based course in agriculture in-
troduced in 1962. The new
four-year agriculture program
is tailored to meet the needs
of the students who plan to re-
turn to the farm, and the new
diploma will provide an incen-
tive for more pupils to remain
in school to the end of Grade
12.„
The five-year course
which included agriculture as
an option will continue to be
the preparatory course for the
Ontario Agricultural College.
