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

February 2020] CHILDREN
- The
government demonstrated its commitment to children's rights and welfare
through public education. The government provided high-quality elementary
education to all children free of charge. Education is compulsory through the
age of 15, and most children obtained a good secondary education. High‑quality
health care was widely available to children. Concluding
Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) UN Convention on the
Rights of the Child, 31 January 2003 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/korea2003.html [accessed 23 December
2010] [52] The Committee
is concerned that, despite the State party's relatively high level of
economic development, only primary education is free, yet it welcomes the
information that the State party is in the process of making middle school
education free. [58] The Committee
is concerned that education and social welfare laws and regulations do not
include specific provisions providing for the welfare and rights of foreign
children, in particular those of undocumented migrant workers. All
