Abstract
Malaysia is a developing country - developing towards
modernization. In the context of its development, rapid
changes occur, not only on its physical structures, but also
on the ways of living of its people. It also changes the
system of education in order to meet the changing needs of
the nation, whilst the society is not yet prepared to face
the changes. The effects of these changes bring many problems.
Examples of such problems are; school drop-outs, truancy among
school children, juvenile dilinquency and drug-abuse. All
these are social problems, which in a way or another, have
been connected to school children. However, there had been
very little or none at all being mentioned about the social
problems faced by school children. So far, there had been no
study done on the problems faced by pupils or students of this
country. Thus it is for this reason that this study was
conducted, that is, as an attempt to find out some of the social
problems faced by school children.
