This paper has been elaborated by the Educational Architecture department, UNESCO, Paris as part of the Educational Buildings and Equipment series. It hopes to address particular problems associated with educating street children- children who have not only fallen out of the formal education system but have been separated from their families and find themselves excluded by society at all levels. An educational programmer needs to be developed that is compatible with their specific learning needs and will ultimately enable their reintegration into society. The environment in which these activities take place should be carefully considered and designed so as to complement the learning process as best as possible.
