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 was
committed to children's rights and welfare, and it provided some funding for
children's welfare. Education is compulsory from ages six to 14. Education
was available for all children through high school, and almost all children
attended school. Education was free at the primary level, but students were
required to pay school fees at the secondary level. The government provided free basic medical
care to children. All
