  • Absalon Pierre, Marie Christelle Calixte, Kelly Moore, J. C. Bunch and T. Grady Roberts. Haitian Faculty Perceptions of Students’ Competence at Graduation: An Opportunity for Curricula Modification. Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education. Vol. 25(3) December 2018. The results of this revealed that (a) the employment conditions for university graduates were challenging; (b) faculty did not believe it was important for their students to graduate proficient in all the GFRAS New Extensionist competency areas; (c) faculty believed students should have research skills, the ability to be self-directed, and the ability to work in teams; and (d) faculty generally believed their institutions were producing graduates with the competencies needed for employment, although several lecturers identified specific areas for improvement. Recommendations for curricula reform and additional research are suggested.
