Exploring the Educational and Health Condition of Street Children: A Case Study in Dhaka City, Bangladesh

Street life is challenging to survive, even for adults, and is yet more difficult for children. They live within the city but cannot benefit from the comforts of city life. This study focused primarily on finding out the present health and educational conditions of street children aged six to seventeen in three areas in Dhaka city. Specifically, we are from some busiest transportation areas, such as Kamalapur Railway Station, Sydabad Bus Terminal, and Shadarghat Launch Terminal etc. This paper was made through the interview schedule using a semi-structured questionnaire method. A few case studies might be recorded based on real-life stories of street children. This research has been conducted through qualitative and quantitative research methods. This research may help initiate governmental policy regarding solving the inexpressible plights of street children. Government and NGOs should enhance their support, love, and belonging to street children in Bangladesh to meet their basic physiological needs.
