Education of children. Access to services, factors and conditions of exclusion
Journal Title: Sociology and Social Work Review - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
All children have the right to be helped to develop normally, to reach their maximum potential intellectually, but not all benefit from an optimal model of education that meets their individual needs and achieves balance between these and society. There are some issues to be tackled which require reflection: difficult communication/cooperation between institutions or between various specialists, stereotypes and old mentalities, discrimination, rigidity and complexity of Romanian bureaucracy, differences between educational institutions in urban and rural areas, training in professions which are not required on the labour market etc. Risk factors that lead to absenteeism and school dropout can be grouped by a number of variables: a. geographical area, community living and the dropout rate in the area: the level of development, infrastructure, unemployment, poverty, residence, ethnicity etc; b. family: socio-demographic structure, economic and social situation, education level of parents; c. relationships and psychosocial climate in family and community; d. the student performance and school results; e. various situations in which each student can learn. Qualitative research through secondary data analysis performed in this work highlights the problems facing children in Romania, poor development and operation of Social Services support from the disadvantaged communities, lack of specialists on the issue of child involved in preventing marginalization and social exclusion of education. Family, community involvement in the activities of educational institutions and social assistance, teamwork of professionals (teachers, psychologists, social workers, doctors etc.) is a required interdisciplinary approach to the problems of children.
