The aim of the paper is to analyze the status and career choices of ethnic minority students, who finish their secondary school in AP Vojvodinain their mother tongue. In order to achieve the aforementioned goal, 2192students, both male and female, were asked to fill in a formal questionnaire in 16 municipalities in Vojvodina in 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 school years. The results show that around one third of the secondary school students migrates and studies in the nearby EU countries.
