Claudia Caraballo de Quentin presented the diploma to Patricio Ferrario, the director of the Tres Arroyos Agricultural College, in recognition of the worth of the institution and its teaching staff as a key pillar of the Alfredo Hirsch Project for Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, through which six new agricultural colleges received educational quality certification in 2009.

 The Tres Arroyos Agricultural College, one of the first to be certified for Educational Quality Management Systems under ISO standards in 2000, is, with the six other schools that received certification in 2009, part of the newly-established Alfredo Hirsch Schools Network, becoming the first group of Argentine schools to receive certification to international standards.

The objective of the network is to ensure that these schools, along with those selected during the second selection process of the Alfredo Hirsch Project for Agriculture and Animal Husbandry which is financed by Claudia Caraballo and Octavio Caraballo, work together and help each other solve theoretical issues related to teaching processes and carry out internal audits among schools in the district.

The diploma was handed over at a ceremony presided by the executive director of the Bunge y Born Foundation, Ludovico Videla and Claudia Caraballo de Quentin who highlighted the experience gained by the Tres Arroyos Agricultural College and its staff on quality certification which they have since transmitted to their colleagues.
