AB  - The article presents vocational education of pupils with special educational needs in Poland, in the context of current barriers that hinder disabled persons from vocational work fulfilment. Vocational education has been described at all levels of the present system with reference to diverse needs of pupils. The analysis of the GUS [Central Statistical Office] data leads to a conclusion that the level of education of the disabled is not sufficient for them to participate in the open labor market. Thus, the necessity of system improvement and flexibility of vocational offers for disabled persons is particularly emphasised, as the forms and content of presently implemented curricula do not befit the rapidly changing conditions on the job market.
