ECHAGUE, Isabela, July 11 (PIA) -- An official of the Isabela State University (ISU) is pushing agricultural technology studies among the students.

Officer-in-charge ISU president Romeo Quilang said the university will not only be concentrating on academics but will also be pushing technology studies on agricultural production as the technology to be learned will be used in their respective residences.

Among the studies pushed are hog, goat, cattle raising; rice, corn, mungbean and other agriculturally grown products in the country today.

“Once our students are provided with basic knowledge and technologies on agriculture, we can help them and their families to earn income and become productive while studying," Quilang said.

He said that the university is doing its share of providing the needed knowledge of students once enrolled in the university in order for them to become competitive in the job area.

Quilang lauded students who enrolled in agriculture courses as these are seen to be in-demand in other countries of the world.

The university has offered free tuition fees to students who are enrolling in agricultural courses. (PIA- Isabela)
