• Abstract:
  The aim of this article is to s summarise the evolution of labour market situation of vocational education graduates the last 20 years in Poland. With the use of statistical analysis of LFS and PIAAC data we present the main changes in the situation of vocational education graduates in respect of their quantity, employment status, wages and skills. The number of students has decreased sharply in the last 20 years at basic vocational schools rather than in technical secondary schools. Our results support the thesis that the main challenges facing vocational education in Poland is not the decline in number of students, but a strong negative selection mechanisms, low efficiency of acquiring the basic skills and too slow adaptation of vocational education to the structural changes of the economy. Therefore, we show why the key success factor of vocational education consist in developing basic skills. Introduction of German model of dual education system is unlikely to solve the most important problems of Polish vocational education.
