Currently there are two main categories of teachers in VET schools – VET teachers and
teachers of general education subjects. The former status of two different kinds of VET
teachers – the professional subject teacher, and the training master has been replaced by
one VET teacher category by the Regulation No 18 of the Minister of Culture and
Education the Statute of a VET Teacher/Trainer of 26 May 1995.VET teachers have to
carry out workshop training and teach professional subjects as well.

59 administered by the Ministry of Education), 2 in the municipal and 17 in private
ownership. The following statistical data covers only the public schools under the
administration of the Ministry of Education. Information on the teachers of the remaining
