Keep Kilkenny Beautiful recently secured funding from LAWPRO to host training for educators. The course was conceptualised to enable 10 agricultural science teachers to support their students and to promote practical techniques to monitor water quality in agricultural fields.
All participating teachers attended the full-day training program held on Thursday, 20 July 2022. The participating teachers were able to re-visit basic concepts of water quality monitoring and its importance to supporting Biodiversity and healthy agriculture. They were able to apply the theoretical instructions with the equipment supplied to do chemical, biological and physical motor policy testing.
The benefits of this programme will extend into the younger generations of agricultural students. The teachers now have additional teaching tools and equipment to support their students in their practical research projects.
