The paper addresses the changes in the role of social background in the formation of educational aspirations of adolescents during the social transformation in the Czech Republic. Using the data from surveys carried out in 1989 a 2003, the authors test the hypothesis that in 1989 the social origin had a strong direct effect on aspirations, while in 2003 its effect was primarily indirect. However, the overall effect remained very strong.
