Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2011, Vol 34, Issue 10
Abstract
The level and quality of vocational education is an important determinant of economic and social development of the country as well as its employment and competitiveness. The transformation of economic and political system had a significant impact on the development of vocational education in Slovakia, which currently faces many problems. One problem is long-term lack of students and inferior status of vocational education and training compared to general education, despite the growing demand for professional skills in the labour market. This article illustrates the pros and cons of the Slovak system of vocational education. The evaluation is based on opinion survey of vocational education subjects, which was conducted among external students of teaching technological disciplines from different regions of Slovakia. Collected data were analyzed by statistical methods (two-dimensional descriptive statistics).
