Education is a core indicator of a society’s well-being. Globally, it is an established practice to include school social work into the education system. In South Africa, however, it is rarely integrated into the education system. This is a conceptual paper focusing on the social context of school-going children, reflecting on the existing well thought-through frameworks of psychosocial support and care and integrated service delivery of the South African Departments of Education and Social Development, and also questioning why collaboration between the Departments to implement the frameworks in the school environment appears to be a complicated and slow process.

学校社会工作者和教育工作者之间的合作伙伴关系：解决南非学习者的社会环境和教育质量的工具

教育是社会福祉的核心指标。在全球范围内，将学校社会工作纳入教育系统已成为惯例。然而，在南非，它很少被纳入教育系统。这是一篇概念性论文，重点关注学龄儿童的社会背景，反映了南非教育和社会发展部现有的社会心理支持和关怀以及综合服务提供的经过深思熟虑的框架，并质疑为什么要合作部门之间在学校环境中实施框架似乎是一个复杂而缓慢的过程。
