The study was conducted by the method of a diagnostic survey, using a questionnaire. The study showed that the majority of adolescents completing secondary schools were not interested at all in the scope of problems concerning GMO.

The greatest differences in the level of knowledge about GMO were observed in subgroups divided according to the type of school attended by the adolescents (General or Agricultural Technical). Respondents who attended General Secondary Schools showed a better knowledge of theoretical problems, whereas those who attended Secondary Agricultural Technical Schools were better familiarised with practical issues.
