摘要：Abstract This research attempts to examine the demographic characteristics of adolescents who choose General or Technical high schools as well as the parameters and reasons that relate to students’ decisions in choosing either type of school. The sample of the survey includes 198 students from both schools. Results showed that students’ choice was not directly related to their family. Personal preferences, career development, independence and professional stability were the most significant factors that students had taken into account when considering about their educational choices. Results revealed gender differences concerning the relationship between family and parental variables and students’ educational choice.
