Request for a survey by Sviesa

Our Lithuanian members have asked me to conduct a survey on the use and life cycle of textbooks in the member countries.

I will do this via survey monkey in the first week of December. However, if you can think of any questions that you would like to add or aspects that interest you, please get in touch so that we can make this survey a really useful tool for everybody. Here are the proposed questions:

Questionnaire about textbook lifecycle in EEPG member countries

3.) Is the life span different depending on the subject?
If so, please grade from least often revised to most often revised for the main subjects.
