The results of the research of sociodemographic characteristics show that most of the students are female, that usually originate from small and medium-sized cities, and whose parents in a small percentage have a university degree. Also, the parents' occupation analysis showed that the preschool teacher occupation is usually chosen by the students who come from families of lower socioeconomic status in which the benefits are lower than the average, and that one-fifth of the students come from families in which someone already works as a teacher. The research findings showed that most students come with completed medical school or grammar school and the average success over 4.0.
