CAUTION: The following links and

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 is committed to the welfare of citizen children. The government
provided for a well‑funded, free public education system (elementary
through university) and a complete medical protection program. Education was
compulsory for citizen children through the age of 15 and was free through
primary school (the equivalent of ninth grade) for all citizen children and
for non-citizen children whose parents worked in the government sector. Based
on 2004 figures from the Planning Council, approximately 60 percent of
school-age children attended school, and most children completed primary
school. Medical coverage for non-citizen children was limited. The lack of
primary educational and medical services to non-citizen children caused
hardship for a substantial part of the expatriate population living in the
country. Concluding

purports to give Islamic Shariah preference over
the provisions of the Optional Protocol and does not clearly define to what
