Abstract

The aim of this paper is to share some sim­ilarities about what children and young people obtain from work and school. The main protagonists in the research are chil­dren and young people who try to cope with two activities: school learning and work. The objective of this paper is two­fold: on the one hand, to make visible child and adolescent work in our region, since there is not a symbolic or social re-cognition of it, neither from the school sector nor from people in general and, on the other hand, to show that the school/work relation is a complex one: working children have to deal with different situations in order to keep up schooling: ab­sences, late arrivals, tiredness, temporary desertion, promotion failure, lack of time to study and do homework. These stu­dents do not get special attention from their families, the state or the school sys­tem.
