Abstract

The paper is focused on an effect of including chemistry in the framework educational programmes for vocational schools. The effect is measured as the difference between students’ attitudes to chemistry after finishing their primary education (9th grade) and after finishing their first year at a non-chemical vocational school. The research results are connected to the results of previous research in the area. It transpired that it is necessary to undertake particular steps in order to increase the quality of chemistry education at these schools. It is this group of students whose opinion subsequently creates the overall reputation of chemistry in society.
