Education Problems in Dairying in Latin America

Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Universidad Agraria, La Molina, Lima, Peru

ABSTRACT

In a broad sense, universities in Latin American countries have not played roles similar to those of United States universities in the technological development of the country. Integrated development plans should start with universities to ensure a consistent source of well-trained technicians, who in turn will be responsible for carrying out the different phases of the development program. Furthermore, the basic problems inherent in the natural development should be investigated at the university level where scientific attitudes and technical abilities prevail.

Traditionally, Latin American universities have devoted their main interest to Humanities. It is difficult to establish whether this has been the result of a keener interest of students in this field or whether it actually was the determining factor in keeping most of the students away from the undeveloped technological sciences. The fact is that in Latin America, with very few countries as an exception, only small groups of students have been engaged in agricultural studies.
