Abstract | During the last thirty years, environmental and agricultural indicators of Haiti have been declining. This situation has had bad consequences over the Haitian population life. At the same times, a number of institutions in Higher education in agriculture are increasing. However, until now, there are no studies that focus on the curriculum of such institutions in relation to a sustainable development of the country. Therefore, a curriculum evaluation of two representative institutions of higher education in agriculture in Haiti has been carrying out since January 2012. The purpose of this study is to find out how the curriculum of those institutions contributes to a sustainable development of the agricultural and environmental sector of Haiti. A case study of two institutions (one public and one private) is considered in this work to achieve this purpose. This paper aims to present the primary results of this study at this first Annual International Interdisciplinary Conference on "Entrepreneurship and Sustainability: From Lifestyles to Innovative Enterprises in Creative and Sustainable Economies" at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies Campus from April 2th to 4th, 2014. |
