Irish student uses school project to highlight fading youth interest in farming
Cian Hanrahan, a sixth-year student in Limerick, has used his Leaving Cert politics project to draw attention to declining interest in farming among young people.
A sixth-year student at Castletroy College in Limerick, Ireland, has used his politics project to raise awareness of falling interest in farming among his peers, according to the agricultural news site Agriland.ie.
Students taking politics as part of the Leaving Cert, Ireland's final secondary school examinations, must complete a citizenship project designed to promote active citizenship.
The student, Cian Hanrahan, chose to focus his project on social issues affecting teenagers. His work highlights the waning interest in farming among young people, which the project's title describes as a "dying art".
