The government\u2019s proposed School of Agriculture is set to begin offering short courses as early as October 2025, with classes to be held at the former Glanvilles Secondary School plant.<\/p>

Education Director Clare Browne said the institution will eventually aim to become a degree-granting body under the umbrella of the Antigua and Barbuda College of Advanced Studies (ABCAS). In the initial phase, however, students will receive certification in short courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subjects will include animal husbandry and plant science, with Associate Degrees expected later in the programme\u2019s development.<\/p>

Officials believe the Glanvilles facility is well-suited to host the new school, which will operate as part of ABCAS.<\/p>\n
