Upper Secondary Agricultural Education as a Key Source of Skilled Labour Force for Czech Agriculture

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper aims to analyse the supply and demand of agricultural labour force in the Czech Republic (CR), with a particular focus on upper secondary agricultural education. While the number of applicants for agricultural studies has been relatively stable, agricultural enterprises have been struggling to secure qualified workforce in the long term. This is despite the relatively even distribution of agricultural fields of studies throughout the country and the apparent sufficiency of agricultural graduates in relation to the labour force in agriculture. The paper examines the main agricultural specializations within upper secondary educational fields of study (programmes ending with a “maturita” examination and an apprenticeship certificate). It compares the ability of schools to generate enough graduates with the requirements of agricultural practice. This analysis will shed light on the extent to which the education system is meeting the needs of the Czech agricultural sector. The study uses a combination of secondary statistical data sources. The data sources include the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO) for data on the agricultural workforce and its socio-demographic characteristics, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the CR (MLSA CR) for data on labour demand and foreign workers in the agricultural sector, and the National Pedagogical Institute of the CR (NPI CR) for data on the number of agricultural secondary school graduates from 2014–2021.
