The Agra Agricultural Academy, under the management of Agra ProVision, marked a significant milestone in its journey of educational excellence with a record-breaking agricultural graduation ceremony last week.
This event celebrated the fourth cohort of graduates since the Academy's inception in 2021, with 34 candidates receiving their National Certificates and Diplomas in the fields of Agric Sales & Services, as well as Animal Production and Plant Production – making it the largest group to graduate from the Academy to date.
Speaking at the event, Agra ProVision manager Theo Ickua highlighted the significance of this achievement and the growth of the Academy over the years, while Agra chief executive Arnold Klein expressed his admiration for the 27 graduates, particularly the Agra employees who also enrolled and graduated.
“I am proud of all our Agra employees who have graduated. At Agra, we are 'Hooked on Results,' and it is wonderful to see our employees also live our company values,” Klein said.
The ceremony was also graced by Johann Stassen, managing director for the International Agricultural Academy for Africa, who capped the students.
Stassen’s participation added an international dimension to the event, emphasising the global importance of agricultural education and collaboration.
Family and friends of the graduates, including EXCO members from Agra, were in attendance to celebrate the accomplishments of their loved ones. The atmosphere was filled with joy and pride as each graduate walked across the stage to receive their diploma, marking the culmination of their hard work and the beginning of their promising futures in the agricultural sector.
The Agra Agricultural Academy continues to set the bar high for agricultural education in Namibia, with each graduating class surpassing the achievements of the last. This year's record-breaking graduation ceremony is not just a testament to the success of the Academy's educational programs but also a reflection of its vital role in nurturing the next generation of agricultural professionals.
