A farm school in Antique devotes two hours daily to teaching learners how to plant vegetables, fruits, and other crops as part of their hands-on training.<\/p>\n
The Aningalan Integrated Farm School (AIFS) in Barangay Aningalan in San Remegio municipality is the only farm school in Antique, with 234 learners, since it started in 2021.<\/p>\n
\u201cLearners are immersed for at least two hours a day, especially on the Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) subject in the secondary level, to learn agriculture and crop management,\u201d school head Jocelyn Gatila said in an interview on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
She added that they are optimistic that their first batch of graduates would take an interest in pursuing agriculture courses or engage in agriculture.<\/p>\n
Barangay Aningalan is considered a premier tourism destination in Antique. Its cool climate makes it suitable for planting high-value crops.<\/p>\n
The Department of Agriculture established greenhouses in the area where high-value crops, such as lettuce, strawberries, and peppers, are being cultivated.<\/p>\n
It is also being used as a learning site for learners enrolled in a farm school in the same barangay. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
