I think education is a key factor to solve these problems. Education make children have knowledges and skills to improve their self and their society. But the education must be match with their purposes. Especially for children with special condition, like street children and labor children.
The needs of skills for wealth families’ children at the city may be far different with the needs of city’s street children, labor children and poor farmers’ children at rural area. Then the school curriculum must be compliance with their necessities. I think that customized education will very beneficial to reduce the children’s problems.
