Which of the following is NOT a component of agricultural education?

The correct answer highlights that extracurricular sports are not a component of agricultural education. Agricultural education primarily consists of three core components: classroom instruction, FFA (Future Farmers of America) involvement, and Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) programs.

Classroom instruction provides the academic foundation in agricultural principles and practices. FFA serves as a leadership and professional organization where students can develop skills and network with peers and industry professionals. Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) offers practical, hands-on experiences that allow students to apply what they've learned in real-world agricultural settings.

Extracurricular sports, while important for overall student development and community building, do not specifically pertain to the structured framework of agricultural education. These activities focus on competition and physical fitness rather than agricultural knowledge and skills. Therefore, they do not fit within the educational model of agricultural programs.
