5. CONCLUSIONS

IO.2.1. Questionnaires for VET Schools, Agricultural Centers, and HEIs
Survey Overview and Participant Demographics:
A survey conducted across five European nations—Türkiye, Greece, North Macedonia, Spain,
and the Netherlands—garnered responses from 147 professionals involved in vocational
education, agricultural centers, and higher education institutions. The largest group of
respondents hailed from Türkiye, while the Netherlands and Spain had the fewest. Variances
were observed in the respondent profiles across countries. For example, in Türkiye, more than
half were from Agricultural Centers, whereas in North Macedonia, Greece, and Spain, a
significant majority were educators from secondary agricultural schools. The Netherlands
presented a balanced representation across all groups.

Educational and Professional Background:

Respondents' ages ranged widely, but the bulk fell between 31 to 64 years. Educational
qualifications were high, with over two-thirds holding a degree, and a diverse range of
educational backgrounds was noted, with bachelor’s degrees being the most common. Despite
high levels of education, specific training in vermicomposting was limited to just over a third
of respondents, reflecting a significant gap in this area across all surveyed countries.

Awareness and Perceptions of Vermicomposting:
