Objectives:
The article concerns the educational role of vocational teachers in technical schools training IT technicians. The research question was: How do vocational teachers (teachers of theoretical vocational subjects and practical vocational training teachers) teaching the profession of IT technician fulfil their educational role? The research sample was purposeful (N=24).

Material and methods:
Qualitative method. Interview technique and document analysis. Maxqda 2024 software was used to analyze the research material.

Results:
Teachers' opinions were discussed in the context of the school's current educational and preventive programs. Teachers perform educational functions in accordance with the guidelines contained in the applicable school documents. Adolescents attending high school are already strongly formed as a result of primary (family environment) and secondary (kindergarten, elementary school, middle school) socialization, so teachers recognize the educational difficulty at the high school stage.

Conclusions:
Teachers related the most important educational goals to the spheres of intellectual, social, emotional, physical and spiritual development. The patriotic aspect appeared sporadically. It can be assumed that teachers leave it to classroom teachers and general education teachers.
