English abstract

Science & Technology cum Entrepreneurship Applications in Enhancing Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources (AFNR) Curriculums is curriculum enhancement intervention executed through “hands-on” internship across AFNR courses in three State Universities and Colleges in Region IX of Phillipines. Its four components (Coconut Sugar, Seaweeds, Tissue Culture and Rubber Seedlings) operate on experiential and pragmatic approach to enhancing the competence and institutional employability of AFNR students through S&T applications, acquisition of entrepreneurial skills and microenterprise development focusing on Zamboanga Peninsula’s major dollar-earning export commodities. The immersion of 362 student-interns has developed their technical and entrepreneurial skills that can match the requirements of AFNR industries which they can also use to start microenterprises should they opt for self-employment after graduation. The project is also able to reverse the declining enrollment in AFNR courses in Region IX. From School Year 2007-2008 to School Year 2010-2011, the project is one of the factors that contributed to the overall three-percent increase in enrollment in AFNR courses in the three participating SUCs in the region. As a result of the student-internship program, the four commodities produced by AFNR students are sold through grocery stores and directly to “walk-in” buyers, traders, farmers, local government units, non-government organizations.
