Downgrade of Vocational Training Criticised – Fishupdate.com
Posted by thizzfacedisco on February 16, 2012
Vocational Courses such as the NVQ Level 2 in Fish Husbandry provide students with practical skills, technical ability and the academic knowledge that will make a real difference to economies and communities at home and in developing nations.
These courses require the knowledge and application of knowledge in maths, chemistry, biology, physics, english and geography to grow fish for markets and food in a world where food security is becoming more important. GCSEs alone in those subjects would not provide that practical knowledge and ability
Schools are unable to deliver such specialist courses and the industry is reliant on technical colleges which have the resources and expertise to provide them. Sparsholt College in Hampshire and Bishop Burton College near Hull are examples of those providing good quality Fish Husbandry and Fisheries Management courses.
