The street children/youth participating in the Sihanoukville questionnaire survey all<br />
received one or more services. The majority answered that they have been receiving<br />
medical services (71.3 percent), followed by support to families (64.8 percent), remedial<br />
education (62.3 percent) and vocational training (27 percent).<br />
Despite remedial education (teaching skills aiming to reintegrate into public school)<br />
being one of the most common services provided, there has been a decrease from<br />
93 percent identified in the CSCN SCP 2008 to 62.3 percent in 2009. However, the<br />
changes identified in the age distribution of street children/youth in Sihanoukville, with<br />
a growing 15 to 18 years category, serves to explain this trend. In order to facilitate<br />
training services to this older category, more emphasis has been placed on vocational<br />
training (technical training aiming to reintegrate into employment or self-employment),<br />
which was not previously supplied by CSCN member M’Lop Tapang.<br />
