Abstract

Social work gives hope for an individual for better future, and social worker is a guardian of people yearning for a better and fairer life. The motto of this article very much fits into today's reality, which raises more and more institutional difficulties. These difficulties relate primarily to the family and the educational process of children and adolescents. Thus the article discusses the role of social worker in the educational process.

In the first part of this description there is a theoretical analysis of education, upbringing and socialization. The second part shows the need to support the educational process by a social worker. As children are most important in each family, all the problems become visible when they start going to school. It is a very favorable time because after noticing social problems and pathologies, appropriate help can be given not only the child but also the family, because it is the cause of the child’s difficulties.  A social worker is so needed in the school and the education, because next to a psychologist and educator will support attempts to rectify the situation of the family.
