| Summary: | Marginalized children in Chow Kit has always been a pressing issue. It stems from a number
of different factors ranging from socio-economic background, government policies and even
politics. The lack of accessibility to formal education has further pushed these children away
from the mainstream education system and caused them to turn to non formal schools run by
non-profit organisations. Although it has been an acceptable way to cater to these target
groups so far, a rising number of private organisations opening up learning centres of their
own has caused a decentralised approach that focuses more on personal gain rather than the
wellbeing of the children. Apart from that, these vulnerable groups require a different
approach to learning, as most of them are unfamiliar with the conventional schooling system.
The study therefore aims to propose a more systematic approach in dealing with the issue by
introducing the concept of modern learning environment. The objective of this study does not
only cover the wellbeing of the children, but also analyses the quality of existing street schools
and how it can potentially impact the surrounding neighbourhood on a larger scale. |
