The Law on Vocational Education (2018) defines the framework for vocational education teachers and establishes a system of teacher training, professional development, and career advancement.

Ministerial Order No. 99/N requires institutions implementing vocational education programmes to employ a sufficient number of teachers with relevant competencies to ensure the achievement and assessment of learning outcomes.

In the vocational education system, the term’ vocational education teacher’ refers to pedagogical staff who deliver vocational programmes. In the context of dual vocational education, the term instructor refers to a person employed in a teaching enterprise who is responsible for the practical training component.
