The present study was conducted during the academic year (2019/2020). A descriptive approach is adopted by the researcher. The researcher developed a questionnaire that consists from 25 items. He measured the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. It was found that principals and academic supervisors have positive attitudes towards the future role of vocational education teachers in the professional learning communities in public schools.
