Education is said to be a mechanism to transform the intellectual capacity of man to better his lots and hence promote total development of his environment. Thus vocational education is visualized as a mechanism that ensures the human transformation through the utilization of the mind and hands for production of goods and services. Relating this to promoting agriculture in the rural youth especial those under the age of 18 stimulates the formulation and implementation of educational policies that entices the youth to engage in agriculture. That is those that break the barriers of rural-urban migration which is a phenomenon that has to do with lack of basic social amenities and employment opportunities in the rural areas.
To overcome this fundamental challenge, Agric must be given its utmost priority thus abiding by the signatories of international protocols which commits government to spending at 10% of the total budget to agribusiness. In doing so model social amenities should be provided in the communities with much processing factories establishment in these areas to tie these youth with employment thus keeping them in the communities. Again, scholarship and micro finance schemes should be considered to cater for intellectual good students and also those who show brilliance in micro agric businesses.
In all these, state recognition for dedicated youth in agric could also serve good for curbing problems of rural youth.
