TÜRKİYE’DE MESLEKİ VE TEKNİK EĞİTİMDE LİDERLER VE YÖNETİM YAPILANMASI

Vocational and technical education aims to train an innovative, entrepreneurial, productive, competent workforce that adds value to the economy, with national and international professional competence, professional ethics and professional values, in cooperation with social and economic sectors. With this purpose, each country carries out studies towards this goal with its own institutional and human capacity. Vocational and technical education is a process that is on the agenda in Türkiye. Leaders who carry out the vocational and technical education process and the functioning of the institutions involved in this process are gaining more and more importance. In this direction, the study focused on the leaders in vocational and technical education and the institutions in the management structure. Document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. With the purpose of the research, a field survey was conducted. It has been discussed who the leaders can be and what duties and responsibilities they have. In the management structure, there are different institutions and organizations in the central and provincial organization. The General Directorate of Vocational and Technical Education in the central organization and the provincial and district national education directorates in the provincial organization are in question. It is striking that there are managers with different duties and responsibilities in the management structure of vocational and technical education schools, which we can call the kitchen of the business. These administrators, who are accepted as leaders in this study, are school principals and vice principals who have different duties.
