Achievement of higher education students are linking with opportunity to make more money (10th gr. – 26%, 12th gr. – 32%); getting prestigious job ( 10th gr. – 21%, 12th gr. – 25%) and better career opportunities (10th gr. and 12th gr. – 22% each). hat shows us that students irst of all are linking education with their material wellbeing. We see that pragmatism and material wellbeing are taking important place in our society.Self determination is making biggest inluence to student decisions. 44% of 10th and 12th grade students stated that they are making decisions on their own. So parent inluence is becoming not that important. Self conidence, independence and self determination importance is showing up. Only 13% 10th grade and 9% 12th grade students stated that their decisions are inluenced by parents. Meanwhile internet and mass media has even lower inluence (12th gr. – 5%, 10th gr. – 2%). Teacher inluence is also not that big (10th gr. – 1.5%, 12th gr. – 1%). hat shows us big decrease of teacher inluence on student decisions. hat is deinitely raising concern and asking for further investigation. Teachers are linking education with: intellectual development (52%), competence achievement (47%), student horizon expanding (46%). Knowledge, science have higher value than material welfare within teachers such as their patents. We can presume that teachers are trying to imply importance of those values to students while educating them. Whatever parent salary is, they are linking education with: achieving professional competence (62%), intellectual development (57%), expanding horizon and getting prestigious job in Lithuania (37% each). hat shows us that parents understand importance of education and are trying to pass such view to their children. It’s not surprising that most of parents, even if they have lower wage, are trying that their children would get higher education.
