educational neglect

Educational neglect occurs when a child does not receive the necessary education, either due to a lack of parents' or guardians' involvement or by not providing appropriate educational resources. This can manifest as failing to enroll a child in school, ignoring their learning needs, or permitting chronic absenteeism. It can hinder a child's intellectual development and future opportunities. Educational neglect is recognized as a form of child neglect and may lead to intervention by social services to ensure the child receives the education they need for their growth and success.
