Abstract

This article seeks to highlight the importance of socio-educational work at the level of secondary education, and it is carried out based on interdisciplinary proposals. To this end, a study was conducted, aiming to find out which professionals are doing socio-educational work in Spanish secondary education schools, what problems and needs they address, what functions they have and what difficulties they encounter in their day-to-day work. The results show that the schools that have taken on professionals from the social or socio-educational context, such as social educators, are more effective in attending to the social and educational requirements affecting the students and their families by offering more interdisciplinary responses and diversifying the socio-educational work
