CAUTION: The following links
and accompanying text have been culled from the web to illuminate the
situation in HOW TO USE THIS WEBPAGE Students If you are looking
for material to use in a term-paper, you are advised to scan the postings on
this page and others to see which aspect(s) of street life are of particular
interest to you. You might be
interested in exploring how children got there, how they survive, and how some
manage to leave the street. Perhaps
your paper could focus on how some street children abuse the public and how
they are abused by the public … and how they abuse each other. Would you like to write about market
children? homeless children? Sexual and labor exploitation? begging? violence? addiction? hunger? neglect? etc. There is a lot to the subject of Street
Children. Scan other countries as well
as this one. Draw comparisons between
activity in adjacent countries and/or regions. Meanwhile, check out some of the Term-Paper resources
that are available on-line. Teachers Check out some of

education was available through the age of 18. Education was compulsory up to
the age of 15, or 9 years of education. The highest level of education
achieved by most children was secondary school, and virtually all children
attended school. Concluding
Observations Of The Committee On The Rights Of The Child (CRC) UN Convention on the
Rights of the Child, 6 June 2003 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/cyprus2003.html [accessed 31 January
2011] SEPARATION FROM
PARENTS [39] The Committee
is concerned that, given the situation on the island following the events
of 1974, certain categories of children wishing to attend secondary
school must be separated from their parents, and may not be allowed to visit
their parents regularly or return upon completion of their education.
Furthermore, the Committee notes that boarding schools for these children are
available only for boys, and that there is one boarding home for girls. www.welcomeurope.com/default.asp?id=1510&idpartner=409 At one time this
