The Israel Ministry of Agriculture and the Jewish Agency settlement department have jointly established a guidance bureau for students from abroad, it was announced here today.
The bureau also will supervise the training of Israel experts who will be assigned as instructors in other countries. The new bureau was made necessary by the increasing number of Asians and Africans coming to study agriculture in Israel and by the increasing number of Israeli experts going to other countries as agricultural advisers. They need special training before going abroad.
A special three-month Hebrew course for 40 American and Canadian students who arrived for a year of study at the Hebrew University was opened today by the Jewish Agency. This was the fifth such seminar from which 160 such students have previously been graduated.
