المستخلص

This paper presents a qualitative case study (Yin, 2003) about vocational education challenges. More specifically, it tackles the challenges encountered by teachers and administrative authorities of educational institutions. It also describes some of the hurdles that impede vocational education to achieve its essential objectives. The study was conducted in the College of Tourism and Hospitality as a current situation of vocational education.  Semi-structured interviews were employed to collect data. Furthermore, the paper concludes that vocational education still suffers from various hurdles that hinder its development. It also recommends reform of vocational education and pay great consideration to enable this sector to play its basic role in accelerating the development and contribution to the economic activities in Libya.
