The project will upgrade quality and availabilityof vocational agricultural education by strengthening professional and pedagogical competences ofeducators (University teachers, secondary school teachers, advisors). CaSA foresees creation of thevirtual repository for courses and additional contents important for agricultural education - the NationalRepository for Agricultural Education (NaRA). NaRA will enable networking of all stakeholders inagricultural education and assure sustainability.
