The relationship between education and work has been extensively studied by
sociologists and economists. While most of this research focuses on work after
secondary education, less attention has been devoted to the experience of working
during high school years. Interest in this topic is growing because of the rising costs
of attending secondary education and a significant increase in student employment.
Secondary schools can no longer assume that the majority of students will be able to
give their full-time attention to academic studies.

Students worker is widely recognized as a major hindrance to reach the
Education For All (EFA) goals by restricting the right of millions of children to access
and benefit from education. Large numbers of child workers are denied the
fundamental opportunity to attend school, while those who combine work with
schooling are often unable to fully profit from the education on offer (Stalzer, 2009).

The Internationa Labor Organization (ILO) Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No.
138) stipulates that the minimum age for admission to employment or work shall not be
less than the age of completion of compulsory schooling. With regard to the effects of a
working students on children's rights to education, empirical evidence has suggested that
student workers is one of the main obstacles to reach education for all children, as
involvement in child labor is generally at a cost to children’s ability to attend and perform in
school (Guarcello, Lyon, & Rosati, 2008).

Global scenario.

In Zambia, working students constitute a key obstacle to achieving universal primary
education and other Millennium Development Goals. It not only harms the welfare of
individual children, but also slows broader national poverty reduction and development
efforts. Children forced out of school and into work to help their families make ends meet
are denied the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills needed for gainful future
employment, thereby perpetuating the cycle of poverty (ILO, UNICEF, and the World Bank,
2009). Therefore, understanding the interplay between education and work is critical to
achieving the Education For All (EFA) goal in Zambia.

Moreover, an empirical studies conducted by Oyaide (2000) and Matoka
(1994) have revealed the causes of child domestic work, conditions of work and
gender dimension of child domestic work. However, none of them have unearthed the
impact of child domestic work on children's education in Zambia. To this effect, there
is little evidence in the published literature on the impact of child domestic labor on
children's schooling in Zambia.

Global scenario.

In the cultural context of the Philippines, where it was common to see children
involved in adult work in practically all industry sectors, including in unpaid family
labor, domestic work and homework, several opinions varied regarding students
working. Some children start working as early as six years old. Usually, young
children are given light work such as piling of sugar cane stalks and/or in planting
rice. They are paid Php 2.50 for a pile or bundle for sugar cane and Php 150.00 per
day in planting rice (Amar et al., 2008).

scenario.

In New Rizal National High School, where the researcher is a classroom adviser, he
observed that high school students use their earnings from work for family and
school needs. In the contrary, if income is still not enough, students will now
continue to work to get high income. This scenario will lead to student’s absenteeism
from the class until they felt shy to go back to school because they accumulated
more absences and cannot cope up the lessons they missed.
On the 2nd last
paragraph of your
research paper, a
Local scenario.
With/without
citation.
Manifestations have indicated that in the rural areas there are few students who
exposed their innocent bodies in the demands of work instead of spending time in the
four walls of the classroom. Causes identified are due to financial instability and lack
of resources to run family matters. With the literature presented on the impact of
working while schooling, this study aims to uncover the experiences of high school
students working in the agricultural sector. Correspondingly, this study aims to expose
their relative views regarding education while at work.
