Who are street children, and what is their level of education? Can they access proper education, and do they have an interest in schooling? Addressing these questions is complex and challenging. On one hand, there's a strong belief that education is a fundamental part of a child's life. However, many street children are unable to access this privilege. For them, survival on the streets takes precedence, often causing their education to be put on hold. Consequently, many find themselves in a difficult situation. Understanding the lives of street children is intricate, particularly when considering how they manage to survive on the streets with limited or no access to education. In light of these complexities, this non-empirical research aims to explore why these children don't attend school. Utilizing an analysis of previous literature it seeks to give definition of street children and offer insights into street life.
