Résumé

This study examines the adoptions, misgivings, and suggestions of regional and departmental authorities for vocational education concerning the use of remote learning to prevent discontinuity of skills acquisition. The sample comprised 12 regional and departmental directors and the instructors who delivered their continuous education programs. The analysis results show substantial participation in online learning despite some expressed apprehension. However, a lack of equipment at the schools and a limited use of educational technologies acted as constraints.
