4. SHARED ISSUES AND CONCERNS

The Survey for VET Schools, Agricultural Centers, and HEIs included 147 participants and the
Survey for local VET Professionals and Farmers included 218 participants. The answers of both

Surveys are analyzed below. The most common issue that was identified with this research was
the lack of education on vermicomposting on both secondary and university level.

The collection of the answers was done with the use of various means like questionnaires,
phone interviews, live interviews with VET trainers and study visits to farmers. The data was

collected in a Google form specifically designed in every country language.

Some constrains that emerged during the research are:

- time delays, the research was planned to be finished by November 2022.
However, due to some unforeseen difficulties we had to extend the period of

the research until the end of December 2022.

- Unwillingness of the education sector to participate in the research. This
issue specifically appeared in Spain only, where the partners had a bit of

difficulties to reach and ensure participation of the education sector.

However, the partners provided the necessary inputs from Spain
successfully.
