The study sample consisted of (135) students from the tenth grade in public schools. The researchers adopted the descriptive methodology, and the data was collected through a questionnaire consisted of (20) items and a guided interview. The findings revealed that Palestinian tenth grade students generally held attitudes towards enrolling, in vocational education.
