Teachers’ attitudes towards career education play a crucial role in the successful implementation of relevant career-related programs in school curricula. In the current study, attitudes towards career education were investigated among 202 Israeli Arabs and 136 Israeli Jewish teachers. Results demonstrate similarity in the general pattern of ranking of importance of career education goals, but significant differences emerged in relation to several issues (e.g. self-knowledge, familiarity with a range of occupations, experience with choice-making). Differences are discussed as an expression of diverse worldviews, a disparity between majority and minority status, and a difference in social structure.
