Abstract
This paper (a) examines recent developments relating to agricultural education and work experience programmes in secondary schools in Jamaica, (b) questions whether such "radical rethinking" is needed in their educational policies/priorities, and (c) challenges whether the view that the whole future of developing countries like Jamaica is heavily dependent on effective agricultural programmes in schools can continue to be supported. It suggests certain actions that Third World governments could take to facilitate more meaningful educational reform in the short term
