Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET)

Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET)

The Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland fulfils part of their educational remit, as outlined in the Royal Charter, by promoting and educating the general public about agriculture, rural industries and the countryside. 

The Royal Highland Education Trust was established in 1999 as the educational charity of the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland.  RHET aims to provide the opportunity for every child in Scotland to learn about food, farming and the countryside, and to create a wider understanding of the environmental, economic and social realities of rural Scotland.

This is achieved through a number of key activities:
• Farm visits
• Classroom speaker talks by volunteer farmers
• Providing free educational resource materials for schools
• Outdoor education events across Scotland
• Competitions and projects for schools, e.g. Count & Grow maths & numeracy project
• Training farmers and teachers in the delivery of information relating to food and farming
• The Royal Highland Show education programme for visiting schools and Children’s Discovery Centre
