The paper presents meanings of the contemporary school education in the reflections of the secondary school students. The intent of the research was to pinpoint the high schools students’ values of education and to search for the cultural dimensions of neoliberalism and the principles which govern the reason of pupils. At first, the author explains those parts of the theory of neoliberal govenmentality which are crucial for intepretation of the interviews with pupils. The author of this study discovers that fundamental concepts of discourse of life after graduation are skilfulness of an individual and assertion of individuality. These concepts are used for explanation of achievement of individuality. The author concludes that pupils do not consider the university as a place assess own life and to gain profit from study. The life after graduation is considered a project of a path to individual happiness and the life choice of university studies is subordinated to this reason.
