Abstract:
This article discusses the beginning of technical education in America and also clarifies our understandings of the goals and purposes of technical education in agriculture. At a time when taxpayers, parents, and even students seem to be disillusioned about education, statistics show increased enrollment in postsecondary agricultural education. This paper attempts to convey concepts to the classroom teacher as well as to define and clarify the historical background, emergence, present status, and direction of postsecondary technical education in agriculture.
