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

- The
government subsidized primary, secondary, and university education, and
primary education was compulsory until age 15. According to a 2003 United
Nation's Development Plan report, 96 percent of school‑age children attended
primary school, and most reached at least a 6th‑grade level. Only 53
percent of girls and 71 percent of boys attended secondary school. The
government subsidized medical care, and improved the welfare of children;
however, general economic mismanagement led to a low standard in medical
services. Concluding
