Agricultural-Mechanization Education Program Development in Albania

Abstract

Education and training programs developed in Albania address the need for knowledge
and skills associated with modern agricultural systems. Agricultural education methods,
program development, and management are increasingly important as Albania joins the
developing countries of Eastern Europe. The objective of these programs is the education
of instructors and teachers. The target group comprises professional agriculturists at
university and secondary/technical schools. These professionals, with the support of the
Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of
Albania, are linked in an effort known as the Alliance for Vocational Agricultural
Training in the Albanian Region (AVATAR).
