Vocational education in all countries provides a specific learning system to their students and students are more motivated to take practical training for their further development. Agriculture-based vocational educational institutions have been facing problems of losing its students since 1998. To promote survival of these schools, a non-agriculture based curriculum was provided. Nowadays, in order to support agriculture-based vocational education, there is a need to do research on the prospects and needs of this type of schooling in Latvia. There is a need for new methods and models of curricula, based on practical needs of students, in order to promote management and marketing skills for future farmers.
