Summary/Abstract: This article presents the role of civil professional organizations and social partners within the VET system. It describes the operations of advisory and decision-making bodies. The study reviews the relations of these organizations and sees how they are embedded in the network of other organizations; and it gives the education sector’s view of the consultation system. This paper notes a number of dysfunctions in how these bodies operate. The general opinion is that consultative bodies play only a formal role in decision-making. However, the surveyed organizations consider the current system of social dialogue important In modern democracies, the state generally aims at the institutionalization of public policy, which excludes constraints, ensures consensus and enforces agreements.
