In following up I visited:

 

http://www.vff.org.au/index.php?id=70256

 

I also met with Paul Weller the VFF President and Asher Judah (Policy
Adviser) today. 

 

Aparently the roundtable is by invitation only. Some teachers from the Ag
and Hort area have been invited.

 

I gave them a copy of the new Agricultural and Horticultural Study Design. I
also discussed some of the issues - falling student cohort, teacher
training, school facilities and cost of running Ag/Hort etc.  

 

They seemed to be quite focused on VET Ag and Hort programs and wondered
whether there has been a greater take-up of VET in lieu of falling numbers
of students doing VCE Ag and Hort. I explained the complimentary nature of
the VCE study and related VET programs.
