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 was strongly committed to children's rights and welfare. The law
mandates school attendance from 4 through 15 years of age, and school
attendance is universal through that age. Schooling was free through the
secondary level, and the government provided some financial assistance for
postsecondary education. Most students complete high school. Concluding
Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) UN Convention on the
Rights of the Child, 28 January 2005 sim.law.uu.nl/SIM/CaseLaw/uncom.nsf/0/088444825a515464c1256fa5004a3996?OpenDocument [accessed 18
February 2011] [16] The Committee
considers that statistical data are crucial for the monitoring and evaluation
of progress achieved and impact assessment of policies concerning children.
In this respect, while noting that the State party is conscious of this
problem and of the negative impact on its policies, the Committee is
concerned that insufficient statistical data are available on the situation
of children, especially those belonging to the most vulnerable groups,
including unaccompanied and separated refugee and asylum-seeking children. [50] The Committee
notes with satisfaction that refugee and asylum-seeking children have free
access to the school system in [55] The Committee
is concerned at the high level of use of illicit drugs and substances among
adolescents and notes the difficulties confronted by the State party in
dealing with this phenomenon. Luxembourg in the
