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 provides compulsory, free, and universal education for children
through grade nine and up to four additional years of free, voluntary
secondary school education. The Ministry of Education reported an attendance
rate of nearly 100 percent of school‑age children, with most children
completing secondary school. The government provided universal health care
for all citizens, including children. A number of Roma
also reported that their children attended segregated classes and were
selected by authorities in disproportionate numbers to attend classes for
students with special needs. In July 2004 the government provided funding for
a regional program to desegregate and expand Romani education by training
Romani educational facilitators and creating special enrichment programs in
public kindergartens. Other school districts hired Romani facilitators at
their own initiative and expense. The government has not developed a
bilingual curriculum for Roma on the grounds that there is not a standardized
Romani language. However, the government has funded research into
codification of the language. Concluding
Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) UN Convention on the
Rights of the Child, 30 January 2004 sim.law.uu.nl/SIM/CaseLaw/uncom.nsf/0/4bc10061499e3b6bc1256e2e003da598?OpenDocument [accessed 22
December 2010] [50] While
welcoming the extension of primary education from eight to nine years and the
increase in the enrolment rate in secondary education registered in the
reporting period, the Committee is concerned about the high school dropout
rate in secondary education. [56] The Committee
welcomes the Law on Asylum of 1999 and the amendments to the Law on Aliens of
2002 which stipulate that cases involving children and adolescents should be
given priority and processed quickly and that a legal guardian should be appointed
to separated children in deportation procedures. The Committee is, however,
concerned about reports that unaccompanied children are not provided with
adequate support during the asylum procedure and that the appointment of a
legal guardian to such children takes too long. [60] The Committee
notes with concern the increasing use of illicit drugs among children in the

society also covers the group of drug users who cannot or do not wish to stop
using drugs. Suitable premises or shelters (distribution of food, night
shelters, possibility of maintaining personal hygiene etc.) must be provided
for individuals who, in addition to social exclusion (homelessness,
unemployment), are also at great risk of various illnesses. Because of the
multifaceted nature of problems that drugs can cause individuals, their
families and the wider community, diverse and integrated assistance programs
are crucial. Because of this, one can here also talk of positive
discrimination of drug users under equal conditions for all citizens. Social protection, health and repressive
organs should work in close connection in order to ensure suitable employment
and accommodation for drug users, as well as for former prisoners who have
committed offences in the drugs area. All
