The aim of this paper is to identify the trends in educational fluidity after the fall of socialism in 1989 in the Czech Republic. The trends in educational fluidity are analysed on the grounds of two effects: unequal educational odds (according to the socio-economic origin) and the “differentiation” effect. The findings show that despite expansion of educational opportunities the fluidity in education has not been increasing in Czech society. The period between 1990 and 2005 saw even a decline in educational odds depending on the respondents’ educational origin. Only from 2006, this tendency started to fall. In our view, the development of educational fluidity was caused primarily by socio-political transition of Czech society rather than by cohort replacement.
