The constitution of the people’s republic of Bangladesh gives right to all children to have an integrated, mass-oriented and general education system and describes to take efficient initiatives to expand the free compulsory education for every body. Government announced the compulsory primary education act in 1990 for the fulfillment of the commitment mentioned in the constitution regarding the primary education for all. The law is very important in this connection that it confirms the right for getting education for children. Although free and compulsory primary education system allows up to class V for all children, the rule fixes the range of the formal primary education 6 to 10 years. JSUS gives importance to the right of children to prepare its every work-plan in line with the national plan of action for ‘education for all’. One of the important goals of the JSUS is to ensure nice and healthy environment for every children in society. Every child has the right to have the facilities permitted by family and society, and authorized by the state. With a view to establishing their right, JSUS, at the time of field work, have understood that the avoided under-privileged children are lagging behind to have the rights of education, health, residence, food, garments and others. Education is one of the fundamental needs for children. No nation can prosper without having education. Besides, education is needful to disseminate the knowledge of right. At the time of inception of the organization, the Executive Director started conducting the sub-formal education system from her own finance and curriculum. This free education center, situated in the premises of her own residence, was participated by those children who are used to collecting the destroyed part of necessary imported goods like onion, garlic, rice in khatunganj, chaktai, korbaniganj which are the main commercial areas of Chittagong. In addition, some students are working as helpers in the bazaar who are school disoriented.
