This paper deals with the education system of
Malawi with a specific focus on agriculture courses. The role
of agricultural education as a form of adaptation to food
insecurity will be the underlying basis for this publication.
Historical backgrounds will underline the significance of
agricultural training to avoid food insecurity. The nutritional
condition of learners has a significant influence on their
educational performance, just as well as the general
circumstances influence individual education in Malawi.
Many obstacles like insufficient material, untrained or hardly
trained teachers, management at schools, teacher-learner
ratio and many others issues hardly enable a meaningful
education in Malawi. Therefore, this paper enriches the
debate on early child education and future food security.
