TThe Elsenburg Agricultural Training Institute welcomed a fresh intake of students on 23 January 2020.
The following first-year students registered: 94 for the bachelor’s degree in agriculture, 73 for the diploma in agriculture, 68 for the national certificate in either plant or animal production, and 10 for the certificate in horsemastership, This brings the first-year group for 2020 to a total of 245.
Registration for the senior students took place on 30 and 31 January 2020, bringing the total number of students to 555.
The College is proud that agriculture is these students’ career of choice. As the principal, Ms Hayley Rodkin, indicated in the Welcome Guide, the importance of this choice has a direct impact on the country’s economy, but more especially that of the Western Cape. It cannot be emphasised enough that agriculture is “an essential source of food, jobs, research and development”.
To all our students, a hearty welcome to Elsenburg, and may they enjoy our unique campus in the heart of the Cape Winelands!
