In a national first, tertiary-level education standards for agriculture have been developed to help universities design and deliver programs that meet agreed standards, attract more students and produce skilled graduates. Led by the University of Tasmania, the standards were developed through a nationwide consultation with industry, graduates, and academics as part of the federal government-funded Agriculture Learning and Teaching Academic Standards (AgLTAS) project. Project leader and University of Tasmania undergraduate degree coordinator for agriculture, Dr Tina Acuna, said the national agriculture education standards define the nature and extent of agriculture and also outline the key threshold learning outcomes for graduates – representing what a student should know, understand and be able to do upon graduation.
