Abstract
Main description
(01)
|
Dynamic of the society development is associated with extension of social problems, notably in educational context. The role
of school, as the main public institution for social development of the students, is now obvious throughout the world. Consequently
the role of social workers in schools is becoming essential, especially in terms of the inclusion of marginalized children
from the opportunity of education, by impacting the educational system, to meet the diverse needs of all learners. Social
work is focused on the welfare of individuals by increasing and developing their potential, so it goes hand in hand with inclusive
education for children with disabilities, which emphasizes the children’ rights to obtain a definite, qualitative and suitable
education in regular schools. The main focus of this study was to draw a clear panorama of the school social workers’ role
towards the processes of inclusiveness of students with disabilities in Albanian regular schools. The data were collected
via in-depth interviews with eight school social workers of the secondary schools in Korça region. The results showed that
social service in schools is very important for helping students to develop social competences, intermediating parents in
utilizing school and community resources, identifying and reporting bullying phenomenon, etc. School social workers could
play a key role to implement the educational reform, which is being undertaken in Albania. Interviewees also shared their
difficulties regarding the practical work, especially obstacles related to inclusive education processes.
