Uneven distribution of institutions across the country – hence issue of geographic access:
E.g. in the North-West of Russia, in East Siberia and in the Far East practically no training of teachers for VET
In 54 RF regions – no institutions of pre-service training for VET teachers
10. St.Louis, 16/11/2011 10 Pre-service training of personnel for VET Statutary requirement for VET teachers to have pedagogic education.

14. St.Louis, 16/11/2011 14 Issues VET teacher upskilling is currently a strategic priority
