It is really worrisome. I think education should be made compulsory for all in these states as it is in South and the east of the country

It is a distressing reality that many children around the world are denied an education just because they were born into poverty. Unfortunately, this dilemma is not limited to your country. Even in other countries, including ours, countless children face the same destiny because they cannot afford basic essentials like school materials, clothes, and transportation. This reinforces the cycle of poverty, as education is an essential tool for breaking free from poverty and achieving success.

Yeah you are right. Hopefully the government would see this as a serious project to help get the kids off the street into schools
