Access to formal institution of Children of Sex Workers (CSW)

Nowadays CSW and their mother get access to the formal institution like school, college, hospital, bank, market, playground, park etc. CSW are now getting admition into govt. and non-govt. school and college. Besides this various trainning have been given to them. So they can fit for and find a prestigious job to earn livelihood. Some of the CSW’ are not interested in studies. They are habituated to the vulnerability of brothel with various corrupted works. But most of the CSW studied in this survey are found interested in study. Every year more than 20 students pass S.S.C. and H.S.C. examination successfully. Their access in market, playground, park is a matter of concern, that, they are not isolated anymore. Evenmore they can open a bank account if they want.

Children’s access to formal education varies by socio-economic status

Educational attainment is part of who are and what we want to become. The same feeling could be felt for the children of the sex workers in Bangladesh. But unfortunately the system of education for these children in Bangladesh is subjected to the dependence of Non- Government organizational sources. Over the years variety of complications grew out of several conditions and factors that affect the process of educational attainment of these students. In spite of all the barriers and obstacles, these students are making their own position and securing a place at Nation. Ministry of Social Welfare is working for CSW through various NGOs. But there is no proper attempt which has been taken till now.

Formal and informal Education

We are led, therefore to a major pair of categories according to which we can drive out analysis of education. It takes both formally and informally. Taking education in its widest sense, we can see readily that it is a process, which lasts throughout of life. Every now slates which on individual acquires, every new condition of life ‘such as marriage, parenthood, maturity, and old age have to be learned, in that the individual has to adjust gradually any by the acquisitation of new attitudes, new ideas and also new social dutie4s and responsibilities (Malinowski 1974 page-141)
