- 28 - 83. The Committee recommends that appropriate measures should be taken in order more effectively to guarantee the right to housing and, in particular, to ensure that no evictions are carried out without offers of alternative housing, in accordance with the Committee’s General Comment No. 4 (1991). It would also like further information on the application of article 11 of the Covenant in the Republic of Korea and, in particular, on the right to housing. 84. The Committee also recommends that immediate attention be given to problems in the field of education and, in particular, to enhancing the access of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups, especially women, to secondary and higher education, as well as to the need for an expanded higher education sector. The Committee recommends that greater attention be given to the provision of human rights education at all levels in the school system. 85. While it is acknowledged that the Republic of Korea has introduced elements of a social welfare system, it is urged to proceed swiftly with its expansion to meet the needs of those on the margins of society, including foreign workers. The protection of foreign workers needs, in its turn, particular attention, especially considering their social isolation and vulnerability. Particular attention is drawn to the very poor, the homeless and victims of severe mental or physical illness. PORTUGAL 86.

The Committee is most appreciative of the transparent, detailed and precise manner in which the Portuguese delegation replied to all its questions, demonstrating the firm determination of the Government of Portugal to implement all the provisions of the Covenant. B. Positive aspects 89.
