Pupils' Access to the Teaching of Vocational Subjects at Secondary Vocational Schools

Abstract

The present article deals with a survey conducted among secondary vocational school pupils to find out what is causing a decline in interest in studying at secondary vocational schools among the pupils of selected primary schools in the Slovak Republic. The article evaluates the influences that can motivate students to choose a secondary vocational school and why they prefer to study at grammar schools. The result of the survey is the improvement in the student’s attitudes towards the subjects taught in secondary vocational schools while they are still in elementary school.
