Updated: 4 February 2008


After three months of intensive class, field and laboratory studies, the 26th annual Regional Training Course at Kamphaengsaen was officially closed by Dr. Chawalit Hongprayoon, vice president of Kasetsart University on 30 January. A total of 17 scholars received certificates from the Vice-President. In all, a total of 19 scholars from 10 countries in the region participated in the course.

In the evaluation of 33 resource persons, the scholars ranked most of them as excellent. As with most courses, food and accommodation were of more concern and the organizing committee will look into this for the next RTC. Most agreed that the course provided a better understanding and appreciation for their work and will give them greater confidence to do a better job.

At the Graduation Ceremony, the scholars showed off 10 posters that they prepared based on their work. The said poster can be viewed at the ARC-AVRDC website www.arc-avrdc.org.
