With this survey we would like to ask opinion of students and teachers about security situation in their countries. If you are student or teacher, you are welcome to participate in survey and help us to gather valuable data which we will use to implement our project.
In frame of the project we will develop different study materials in security risk management field, will prepare recommendations on how and what to teach security students. And it is very important to gather data and feedback about security awareness and knowledge among our students and teachers. No matter –you are studying or teaching security related subjects or any other subjects – your opinion is important to us!
