Parents who play a significant role in the family are unable to perform their duties to their full potential, particularly when it comes to supporting the growth of children in their health and education. Children who have their migrant worker parents abandon them frequently face a variety of disadvantages, such as poor health and educational opportunities. Children's education will undoubtedly be impacted, particularly in light of the Covid-19 epidemic, which has an effect on educational institutions. Their health is also in danger. Due to this circumstance, this article focuses on the education and health of migrant worker children as well as how they develop academically.
