Abstract

This paper focuses on the national attention on working urban children and their educational needs. Through implementation of the “Basic Education for Hard to Reach Urban Children Project” it has benefited about 346500 children aged between 8-14 years by providing non-formal basic education across the six divisional cities of Bangladesh. The main objective of the project was established ways for children engaged in hazardous labor to gain access to education. It emerged that working urban children were also hard to reach because the education system has not regarded them as potential clients, because investment flows were against them and because their communities did not think their education was necessary
