Abstract	A study examined present agricultural education programs in Antigua and made recommendations for needed improvements. Data for the evaluation were obtained from numerous documents and publications, field trips, and discussions with key officials in various ministries and institutions, including the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Education, Antigua State College, and secondary schools in the country. Although it is clear that the present agricultural education program in Antigua is in urgent need of improvement, the currently existing general goals of self-reliance and proper use of land and other natural resources are not sufficient to plan a direction for the country's agricultural education program. Clear, specific national goals for both the short- and long-term improvement of instruction in the primary and secondary schools and teacher preparation must be formulated. Moreover, the importance of both education and agriculture to the development of Antigua should be reflected in the budgets of the two ministries responsible for each of these. (Appendixes to this report include a listing of documents reviewed by the researcher, data on present staffing and training needs in Antigua, and selected information concerning educational institutions and enrollment in them.)
