This is in addition to the $400,000 allocated to secondary schools in the last two years to enable them to establish horticultural units. The National Consultative Committee of Agriculture Education and the Education Department will use $40,000 of the grant during the next year to develop the integration of agricultural and horticultural topics into teaching programmes for all children, Mr Wellington said.
