The aim of the paper is to outline the key problems and challenges facing public higher vocational education sector in Poland. The public higher vocational education sector at present is constituted by state schools of higher vocational education, which usually play the role of subregional centres in smaller towns. In the author’s opinion, the problems, which these schools have to deal with, and challenges facing them, can be divided into general and specific. General problems and challenges are the same as for the whole higher education system in Poland, in turn, specific are conditioned mainly by the abiding legal regulations and relatively short presence of state schools of higher vocational education in Polish system of higher education. General problems and challenges, undoubtedly, relate to demographic decline and financing. Specific problems and challenges relate to making the education process more practical, aiming to increase the number of academic teachers employed in only one school, developing international cooperation and obtaining foreign students, offering second-cycle studies, conducting research, obtaining additional sources of financing and optimising operating costs, mutual competition among schools. The paper mostly focuses on specific problems and challenges facing public higher vocational education. The considerations presented in this paper result from the knowledge, observation and experience gained by the author’s throughout almost 20 years of functioning in the sector of public higher vocational education.
