However, between 2020 and 2022, this rate dropped from approximately 40% to 20%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>40% of parents stated that their children did not want to go to school, and 24% cited economic factors as a barrier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It has been observed that many parents in Turkiye do not pay sufficient attention to health issues. Only 22% of children with health problems were reported to have received treatment in the last two weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As of 2022, the rate of children aged 0-17 years exposed to any form of violent discipline, including psychological assault or physical punishment, was 54.1%.
