WRITTLE College is part of a landmark project to transform the teaching of agriculture in Uzbekistan.
The £752,000 EU-financed project will see the College, in Lordship Road, working with four European partners and five Uzbek universities to re-design the curriculum in the country.
The project has been launched in order to react to the changed needs of the labour market in Uzbekistan, improve sustainable development and adapt to changing conditions across the globe.
Henry Matthews, Senior Lecturer in Agriculture and Farm Management – is coordinating Writtle College’s involvement in the project and has recently returned from Uzbekistan.
He said: “For Writtle College to be involved in this major EU project and to represent UK agricultural teaching is a major achievement and is testament to the established reputation we have in the sector both at home and overseas.
