Abstract

The current problems arising in the implementation of the educational process in institutions of secondary vocational education are considered: self-determination of applicants, their interest in obtaining a specific specialty; the qualifications of the teaching staff, their professionalism and dedication; material and technical equipment of classrooms, laboratories and workshops. These indicators are reflected in the quality of the provision of educational services, the qualifications of graduates, the rating of the educational institution.The purpose of the study, based on many years of pedagogical experience of working with students and in the teaching and methodological department of secondary vocational education, is to draw attention to the accumulated issues in the secondary vocational education system, which are largely due not only to financial difficulties, but also from inconsistency of actions within the teaching staff.Analyzing the downward trend in the quality of education, possible ways of changing the situation that require a professional approach have been identified.Effective functioning of the psychological and pedagogical service of educational institutions; motivation of applicants to obtain a specialty; competent work of curators with students' parents; mentoring activities of experienced teachers with young teachers; attentive attitude to the organization of the lesson — as the main activity of the teacher; correct analysis of regulatory documents; competent development of educational documentation; modern equipment of classrooms, laboratories, workshops — this is only a partial solution to many problems.The results of the research can be useful for teaching staff of secondary vocational schools when organizing a system for training qualified workers and mid-level specialists.
