Results of the research. The article attempts to consider the basic issues of organizational and economic nature in the system of teachers of vocational (vocational) education in Ukraine. The teacher in this system is considered as a key figure in the system of educational and professional services in the field of training workers. An important aspect in this is the process of organizing the activities of a teacher in a vocational school. In particular, it concerns such aspects as working conditions, workload distribution, organization of scientific, exploratory, creative extracurricular work with students and more. At the same time, the economic component is of key importance here: material and technical support of the educational institution, and the corresponding working conditions of the teaching staff in general and each teacher in particular; system of remuneration of the teacher and material and moral encouragement of his work. The main principles of such an organizational and economic mechanism can be a clear definition of strategic objectives of professional (vocational) education of the country, a separate educational institution, which determine the professional activity of the teacher. In this regard, the economic (financial) basis for the implementation of the relevant educational and professional strategy is determined. The main executive figure in such conditions is the teacher.

The importance of the organizational and economic system is that it ensures the actual functioning of educational strategic areas in the training of professionals and stimulates the work of the direct executor - a teacher of professional (vocational) education.
