Agriculture Curriculum in a Private School
« on: January 25, 2010, 12:07:41 PM »
A private school here has agriculture curriculum to help out students get a grasp of the life cycle of plants and rice.

The Temple Hill International School (T.H.I.S.) wants to help students get a deeper understanding about the food processes from germination to transplanting and watching them grow and caring for them until harvest time.

“Although farming is part of the curriculum, they don’t get grades from planting rice. It is an extra subject,” high school principal Mebruhtu Zemui Tesfazghi said. “They plant rice as a group, but they raise vegetables individually,” he added.

Among the plants the students grow in the verdant plots are squash, onion, pandan, eggplants, taragon tea, patola (gourd) and sweet potatoes or kamote.

The philosophy behind this is to help students acquire a deeper understanding about the life cycle of plants and rice.

Later, seeds are gathered from the new harvests to be used for the next planting season.

Students are not only taught to plant and harvest rice but to cook it as well, along with the abundant vegetable harvests. (PNA) DCT/JCA

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
