Colleagues and I have undertaken a recent project looking at the use made of school farms in Tasmania, Australia. I was surprised to find out that there were 30 different kinds of school farm across a small State (population 500,000). These school farms often went back to the 1930s and 1940s. They had increasingly become 'shoestring' operations in recent times with their value questioned....And yet there may be a renaissance with the arrival of more flexible vocational curricula and shifts back to respecting community voices in educational provision. It would be great if colleagues with interesting/worthwhile/innovative examples of educational practice around school farms could share here.
I attach a copy of the paper referred to above.
Having some dialogue around school farms in different parts of the world (where they exist) would be great.
Thanks for your interest, Dibikar.
What is the situation in the jurisdiction that you know best?
