It is known education doesn’t consist in new occupational space for the social workers, but also does not represent potential hiring field to these professionals when compared to other areas in which the social worker is inserted too. However, its presented an increase in the quantity of professionals working directly in the educational field, especially because of the importance this niche represents for the capital.
