mandatory until age 18, and public schools are free. According to the UN
Children's Fund (UNICEF), 98 percent of school-age children attended school.

The Child (CRC) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, 4 October 2002 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/poland2002.html [accessed 19 December 2010] [27] The Committee notes with
concern that the principle of non-discrimination is not adequately
implemented with respect to certain vulnerable groups of children, including
children of the Roma and other ethnic minorities, children living in
institutions, children with disabilities, children of poor families and
children with HIV/AIDS. In particular, the Committee is concerned about their
limited access to adequate health, education and other social services and
about reports of racially motivated violence in which police have failed to
protect the victims. [36] The Committee is concerned at
the large number of children in the State party living in institutions, a
significant proportion of whom are "social" rather than natural
orphans. [52] The Committee is concerned
that, despite pilot programs aimed at improving the situation of the Roma in
certain provinces, they still suffer from widespread discrimination which has
in some instances impeded Romani children's right
to education, health and social welfare. Neglected Children Konrad Kiedrzyński,

large number of street children. Volatile Substance Abuse Among Young People In Council of At one time this article had been archived and may
possibly still be accessible [here] [accessed 11 July 2011] 10.3 SPECIAL GROUPS - There are a number of groups
that are likely to be more at risk of drug and volatile substance use than
others. These include children in difficult family circumstances, children
whose parents misuse alcohol or drugs, 'street children' and - possibly -
members of minority groups such as Roma. It is also important that groups who
may be thought unlikely to misuse drug or volatile substances are not
neglected, for even among such groups there is likely to be some substance
misuse. For example, among rural and small town folk or among more
'middle-class' young people. I attempted to find examples of work with street
children, but there did not appear to be any projects that focused on this
group. I met with a representative of the
refugee council, Polska Akcja
Humanitarna, who said that there was not a problem
of volatile substance misuse among the refugees she dealt with. In many
people's minds, the problem of street children in Poland is associated with
refugees and immigrants from poorer countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
