Chairman Message

 

Modernization of agriculture production systems and supply chain into high value agriculture products is fundamental for accelerated agriculture growth, sustainable food security, and reduction of rural poverty. Modern agriculture has become increasingly knowledge-based and technology driven. The continuing need for improvements in the quality of higher education and learning innovations in agriculture is therefore of vital importance to produce graduates who are scientifically well equipped to promote knowledge-based agriculture economy and make agriculture sector more productive, profitable and competitive. This underpins the rationale for establishment of the National Agriculture Education Accreditation Council (NAEAC) by the Higher Education Commission (HEC), Government of Pakistan.

 

The NAEAC’s mandate is to implement a comprehensive program of accreditation of agriculture education degree programs based on policies, procedures, and criteria setup by HEC to assure high quality and standard of education. The accreditation and rating of the degree programs based on external reviews and publication of their ranking is therefore the most important function of the NAEAC.
