Abstract: The hotel educational system has undergone crucial change after the year 1991.The number of schools has tripled reaching 20% share in the total number of vocational schools in the Czech Republic. A considerable number of teachers is required to ensure teaching of vocational subjects, the teachers receive their initial education in different ways and in different areas. Further education is very important for them whereby they can deepen and broaden their professional and pedagogical education. This paper summarizes the results of a research mapping the development of a network of hotel schools in the Czech Republic in the years 1991-2012 and the attitudes of teachers of vocational subjects towards their further education. In the same period, the proportion of hotel schools increased in the segment of secondary (high) schools from about 7 % to about 21 % and remained stable after 2000. According to qualified estimate, approximately 1,200 teachers of vocational subjects operate at these schools and their pre-graduate education is very diverse. This, along with the natural development of the industry, has resulted in a steady demand for lifelong learning. Teachers themselves show a great interest in a variety of educational activities, and prefer to acquire new limitations knowledge and skills in relation to their expertise, much less the acquisition and development of psycho-pedagogical competencies. They are usually supported in their further education by school management but with in terms of participation in educational events and their compensation (and the payment of related expenses). In ¾ of cases, the participation on lifelong education does not impact teacher ´s remuneration. An important incentive that motivates teachers to participate in continuing education is the fear of losing their jobs.
