Sue Pratt – Balaklava High School
Winner of the ATASA Award for Excellence in 2021. Balaklava High School ag teacher Sue Pratt joins us to discuss the importance of teaching agriculture in SA high schools.
If you care about the future of farming, you need to listen to this conversation.
Sue talks about why ag education matters, the challenges and shortages facing the curriculum, and how the entire ag industry could both contribute and benefit by tackling the problems.
The ag industry relies on a whole network of participants – from farmers and farm workers, through suppliers and technicians, to high level researchers. Sue explains how the high school ag curriculum helps ensure we have plenty of these professionals, by developing a fundamental understanding of ag and – more importantly – the countless career pathways it offers.
