Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Welfare has announced that they intend to introduce agriculture as a separate subject in all schools countrywide.
State Minister Hussain Ismail confirmed to Mihaaru News that discussions are currently ongoing with the Ministry of Education on implementing the decision within the year.
It has not been decided yet which grade the subject will be commenced from.
Although agriculture is currently not a subject officially endorsed by the Ministry, some schools have been teaching it on their own initiative.
Some schools have dedicated plots within their grounds where various produce is grown, while others farm fish and through that have set up aquaponics systems, growing lettuce and similar produce in water.
Funds raised through agriculture programs of schools are often utilized on student and school activities.
