A practical skills event aimed at demonstrating the knowledge acquired was held by the first year students of the Agronomy course at the «Constructores del 2000» educational institution in the municipality of Majagua.

The exercises included: harnessing and unharnessing oxen, preparing areas for sowing with animal traction, tying and untying different knots, as well as saddling horses and moving on the horse’s back.

The specialist Edilio Miranda Ledesma, who was in charge of the activity as a guiding teacher, described the event as successful, considering the quality of the presentations of the skills in agricultural and livestock work shown by the students, preparation that will also allow them to take on new challenges.
