The issues regarding children have been complicated in schools. The number of children skipping school is increasing these days and the age of misconduct is becoming lower. Underlying this situation there are severe family issues, including child abuse, neglect and poverty.

School Social Workers are expected to deal with these issues as social work specialists.
