We’re living in a different world now

in terms of employee needs, and

companies have to offer alternative

 About me !
 All children are not fortunate enough to receive an
environment which is conductive to provide appropriate
development opportunities. The need to protect some
children is certainly greater than others due to their specific
socio-economic and political circumstances and
geographical location. They are more vulnerable in terms of
the risk to their right to survival, development, protection
and participation. These are the children in especially
difficult circumstances.
LIVING IN REMOTE PLACES

 Children who live in urban or rural zones often

find themselves in a precarious situation. Due
to extreme poverty, they can hardly satisfy
fundamental needs such as nutrition, access to
healthcare, education, and are often exposed to
danger car accidents and violence are also a
part of their everyday lives.
 CHALLENGES OF CHILDREN?

Children walk long and dangerous journey to

school
The idea of a young child having to walk so
far alone is horrifying – there’s no
infrastructure on the roads, and there’s a real
danger of them having an accident on the way.
Teachers need training in children’s health
and hygiene
A school needs more than just a classroom,
it’s also important to have latrines and water
to prevent students from getting sick.
Rural schools need better infrastructure
Schools in rural areas are often operating out of
a single classroom, or in unsafe buildings.
Others don’t have perimeter fences, which
means animals and intruders can easily access
the grounds, or children can walk out onto the
road.
 HOW THE LEARNERS LEARN?
Children living in rural zones experience a serious lack of education in
comparison with children in urban zones. Consequently – according to
recent estimates – 25% of children that are of age to attend primary
school in rural zones are not educated versus 16% of children of the
same age living in urban areas. Despite the efforts deployed by the
states to develop the education of children at the primary and secondary
levels. The rate of education still remains low especially in rural areas
and for girls in particular.
 CHARACTERISTICS OF LEARNERS
Self-disciplined in terms in executing your
educational practices.
Oriented toward goals and motivated to study
and progress.

VICTIMS OF WAR

A person that suffers from the

destructive action undertaken as
result of an armed conflict
between two or more parties.
 CHARACTERISTCS

Children living in conflict zones

around the world, have continued to
suffer through extreme levels of
violence over the past 12 moths and
the world has continued to fail them.
It is that children in countries that are at
war are being used as “human shield”,
killed. Maimed , or recruit to fight, Rape,
forced marriage and abduction have
become standard tactics in conflict.
Many war victims , however, are anxious, or
depressed, or easily startled without qualifying for
either of these formal diagnoses. Complex PTSD and
disorders of extreme stress are found in individuals
who have experienced prolonged and repetitive
exposure to traumatic stressors.
 IMPACT OF WAR TO CHILDREN
 Death
 Injury
 Disability
 Illness
 Rape and prostitution for subsistence
 Moral and spiritual impacts
 Child soldier
 Displaced children
 Orphans
 Exploited children
 EFFECTS
 There are countless effect of armed conflict on children who are
very vulnerable and unable to protect themselves.
 The effects on children education:
 Enrollment is going down.
 A lot of children are dropping out of school
 School conditions are bad
 Low levels of educational attainment
 Abuse is committed
 LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
HOW DOES THE WAR AFFECTS THE LEARNINGS OF LEARNER?
 One of the key reason for this is that children feel the
effects of war acutely. The younger they are. The fewer
mechanism they have to express the emotional reactions
that are a normal part of a conflict like fear, anxiety, and
depression. A lack of psychosocial support has an affect on
how well student well perform in school, especially those
who need additional learning support even in a non-conflict
setting.
 PROGRAMS OF THE GOVERNMENT THAT CAN
HELP LEARNERS THAT ARE VICTIMS OF WAR

RA 11188 - This Act shall be known as the “Special

Protection of Children in Situations of Armed
Conflict Act”. Ensure the right to participation of
children affected by armed conflict in all its policies,
actions, and decisions concerning their rescue,
rehabilitation and reintegrate
Child Protection and Rights Initiatives
Governments may implement programs focused on
the protection and rights of children affected by
war. This includes efforts to prevent child
exploitation, child soldier ship, and other forms of
abuse. Legal support and advocacy for children's
rights may also be part of these initiatives.
PRODUCT OF BROKEN FAMILY
A family is dysfunctional when conflict, neglect, and
misbehavior are constant and everlasting . Modern psychology
defines dysfunctional families as those with anxious system
within them .There is a tremendous amount of emotional
disturbance within the family members ,and it sometimes means
that it is couple with child neglect and abuse .Children from
dysfunctional families assume that this situation is normal, as
they are exposed to that environment regularly, and do not know
the different aspects of dealing with a dysfunctional family. A
functional family, on the other hand, encourages all family
members to attain optimal growth, and provides a safe space for
emotional well-being.
 CHARACTERISTICS OF A BROKEN
FAMILY
 Lack of communication
 Lacking Empath
 Prone to Addiction
 Mental Issues
 Controlling Behavior
 Perfectionism
 Criticism
 Lack of Independence and Privacy
 No Emotional Support
 Violence and Abuse
 WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF BROKEN
FAMILY TO THE STUDENTS?
The effect of family breakdown on children include
difficulties in school, early engagement in sexual
activities, insecure and afraid of the future,
depression and fear of being abandoned. The forms
of family breakdown identified during the study
include death, separation and divorce.
 LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
HOW DOES THE BROKEN FAMILY AFFECTS THE LEARNING
OF LEARNER?
Slowed academic development is another common way
that divorce affects children. The emotional stress of a
divorce alone can be enough to stunt your child’s
academic progress, but the lifestyle changes and
instability of a broken family can contribute to poor
educational outcomes.

STREET CHILDREN

 Street children are one of the most vulnerable

groups of urban poor. They face difficulties
while living in the streets, and they also develop
their own ways to overcome such difficulties.
They have some common characteristics with
the urban poor in general. but they still have
their own different characteristics that
distinguish them from other urban poor groups.
TYPES OF STREET CHILDREN

 STREET LIVING
Children are those under the age of 18 years old who
spend most of their time on the streets These are
children who cut ties with their families and live alone
on the streets. Many children may leave their families
at a young age, because of physical and emotional
abuse. They are mostly between the ages of 12 and 18
years old. 20% of them are girls.
STREET FAMILY
 Children live with their family on the streets.
They are of all ages. 50% are girls.
 Are poor homeless children who live on the
streets of a city, town, or village. Homeless
youth are often called street kids, or urchins;
the definition of street children is contested.
 Street-working
Children are those who spend most of their time
working on the streets to provide income for their
families or for themselves These children have a
home to return to and do not usually sleep on the
streets. It is estimated that there are approximately
10,000 of these children in Phnom Penh alone. They
are mostly between the ages of 6 to 15 years old.
50% of them are girls.
 CHARACTERISTICS

 Street children face difficulties in providing themselves

with good sources of food, clean drinking water, health care
services, toilets and bath facilities, and adequate shelter.
They also suffer from absence of parental protection and
security due to the missing connection with their families.
In addition, there is a lack of any kind of moral and
emotional support (Lugalla and Mbwambo, 1999).our
clients the best of us."
 LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

HOW DOES LIVING IN THE STREET AFFECTS THE

LEARNINGS OF LEARNER?
 Street children can have complex circumstances and are
very vulnerable to exploitation and violence. It's hard to
reach them with vital services such as education and
healthcare. They miss out on their right to education
because they are trying to support themselves or their
families, so less formal approaches might be needed to try
to get them into learning
 CHARACTERISTICS OF LEARNERS

Education
 In an effort to bring education closer to the street children, Child hope
Philippines has come up with “KalyEskwela,” a project which literally
translates to “school on the streets.” They use mobile vans with
audiovisual equipment to conduct classes. Under the Alternative
Learning System (ALS) accredited by the Department of Education
(DepEd), street children and youth learn through modules with
guidance from street educators.
 This street child project also aids children who go back to the formal
school system. For older teens, the product conducts trade and tech
skills training to help them gain income to support themselves as well
as their families.

physical illnesses. such as asthma. ulcers.
severe allergies. or recurring headaches. Also,
they often experience irrational and persistent
fears or hatreds and demonstrate either passive
or aggressive behavioral extremes.
Traumatic experiences can initiate strong
emotions and physical reactions that can
persist long after the event. Children may
feel terror. helplessness, or fear, as well as
physiological reactions such as heart
pounding, vomiting, or loss of bowel or
bladder control.
CHARACTERISTICS OF LEARNERS

They live in fear.

Denigrated by abuse and suffer a
loss of self-worth and self-
confidence.
 HOW THE LEARNERS LEARN?
Classroom teachers have a unique opportunity to
identify abused children and to start the healing
process that will restore safety to their lives. Teachers
can also help abused children gain a sense of personal
identity by asking questions that help them formulate
a position on issues, administering interest
inventories, and teaching decision-making and
problem-solving skills.
 HOW DOES ABUSE IN THE STREETS
AFFECTS THE LEARNINGS OF
LEARNER?
 Unfortunately, it is a largely accepted fact that abused and neglected
children are at higher risk for lower academic achievement
Additionally studies show that children who have suffered from
neglect exhibit lower academic achievement children who were
physically abused Mistreated children have a greater instance of
exhibiting poor social skills and classroom behavior problems
Maltreatment in the first five years of life nearly triples a child's
likelihood of having academic problems. These children are far
likelier to drop out of school before completing high school.
