SRUC believes that a foundation in agriculture can be applicable to many other future careers
BOTH TEACHERS and farmers could play a much bigger role in ensuring more school pupils have the opportunity to learn about food and farming.
Carla Coghlan is one year into her post as Schools Lead at SRUC and is passionate about ensuring that more children across Scotland can learn about the agricultural industry during their school education and believes getting teachers on board could be the best way to start.
She told The SF that some teachers might shy away from teaching their pupils about farming as the language can sometimes be daunting and teachers might lack the confidence and knowledge to explore it with their classes.
