This study attempted to evaluate and explore possible areas for improvement of the Technical Agriculture Education Program.

Questionnaires were used to gather data from 610 respondents, composed of 205 students, 180 graduates, 95 instructors, 40 administrators and 90 employers. The data were analyzed with the use of ANOVA, LSD test for unequal sample sizes and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.

The four groups of respondents evaluated several aspects of the Technical Agriculture Program, namely: its philosophy and objectives, curriculum, recruitment/ admission of students, college staff, instruction, administration and work experience as functioning moderately or satisfactorily.

The study revealed the strong and weak features of the Technical Agriculture Program. The strong

features were in the areas of recruitment/admission of students, college staff, and administrations; while the weak features were in the area of facilities.

Some of the respondents! comments or suggestions for upgrading the program were as follows: improvement of library and instructional facilities, improvement of curriculum by training the student in employable skills, and improvement of instruction by employing experienced and competent staff members,

The study revealed the urgent need for improvement of the Technical Agriculture Program through the improvement of library facilities and instructional aids both in quality and quantity, the curriculum, the teaching~learning process, the knowledge transfer, competencies and dedication of the instructors, communication and appropriate funds.

In connection with agricultural competencies and skills, the employers observed that the graduates of Technical Agriculture Program lacked communication skills, particularly in reporting work accomplishments 3 wore poor in methods and approaches in extension work 3 lacked experimental techniques; were poor in human relations; and possessed inadequate technical agricultural skills.
