Dominican Republic: The Superior Institute of Agriculture-Development of a Private Institution of Higher Agricultural Education

摘要

The Superior Institute of Agriculture (ISA) was created in 1962 by a group of socially minded community leaders to remedy the Dominican Republic's lack of trained agricultural manpower. Originally a high school, ISA was later expanded to include an undergraduate degree program through a local university, as well as a specialized non-degree program in rural development administration. It recently gained autonomous university status. The report focuses on ISA's development impact.
