The thematic focal point of the paper is thus the choice of upper secondary school, as it significantly pre-determines his/her future e ectiveness on the labour market and the chance to succeed in the transition to tertiary education. Partial conclusions of a questionnaire survey are presented, which was conducted in 2010 among 9th grade pupils (n = 1526) within the Ostrava district. The study aimed to determine the relationship between social-psychological factors (the educational aspirations of pupils, pupils¡¯ attitude towards education, family structure, the education and employment of their parents, their parents¡¯ interest in education, the influence of the study environment, etc.) and pupils deciding for an education in technical study fields or the humanities completed with a school-leaving examination at the uppersecondary level. %K upper secondary school choice %K educational aspiration %K technical study field %K humanities %K upper secondary school %K primary school %K family %K family background %U http://www.ped.muni.cz/pedor/archiv/2012/PedOr12_4_Tranzice_HladoBalcar.pdf
