A questionnaire has been prepared and applied to a random specimen of small-scale planters and young graduates who benefit from agricultural tenure in "Arbaa" and "Sabaa" villages in "Sahl El-Ttina" area, forming a sample of 273 planters representing a ratio of 29% of the members of the agricultural organization distributed as follows: 123 planters of "Arbaa" village and 150 planters of "Sabaa" village. These are the findings the study arrived at: The study has indicated that problems related to education ranked fifth among the problems encountered by the planters, with a proposed average of 65.40. Sixteen other problems were grouped under education-related issues. They were arranged according to the proposed average of each problem.
