Abstract

In Bangladesh's capital, street children have been increasing daily. Because of poverty, family, and basic needs, they cannot get any primary education. Bangladesh country has not taken any initiative for street children's primary education, and Bangladesh researchers did not publish any research regarding street children's education until now when people and government can understand and do concern about street children's education. This research paper study about street children's education, how many street children living in this country between them, how many children are not getting primary education, why they did not get primary education and which way they are walking due to primary education, how they are involved with an offense like drug addicted, gang war, murder and the many ways tortured by the people like physically, mentally, sexual abuse. In Bangladesh, many street children do not know about education because they are from very low-income families and their lifestyle is impoverished; they didn't get any education, that's why they try to give their children employment so that children can earn money for the family. Street children's family is not well educated because they are uneducated from birth and think education is nothing for a human being. They can understand a boy earning money for the family and a girl just born to manage the family and life lead a homemaker. A low-income family has basic needs like residence, food, etc., but the family does not get these basic needs. That is why maximum street children and their families go to migrate in the city area so that they can earn enough money for the family and what is the status of a migrant family, and how many percentage street children are involving with employment that can know through this research paper.
