Year 11 Agriculture and Horticultural Science subject announced
Students will be able to study Agriculture and Horticultural Science from Year 11, creating a clear pathway into Years 12 and 13 and future careers in New Zealand's primary industries, Education Minister Erica Stanford says. “Year 11 Agriculture and Horticultural Science will be an optional subject alongside compulsory Science, giving students the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge and pursue their interests earlier. “It complements the existing Agriculture and Horticultural Science subjects at Years 12 and 13, as well as the new industry-led Food and Fibre subject currently being developed for Years 12 and 13, giving students a wide range of pathways into New Zealand's primary industries.
