CRC/C/15/Add.113 page 9 resolution 48/96) and the Committees recommendations adopted at its day of general discussion on The rights of children with disabilities (CRC/C/69), it is recommended that the State party develop early identification programmes to prevent disabilities, increase its efforts to implement alternatives to the institutionalization of children with disabilities, establish special education programmes for children with disabilities and further encourage their inclusion in society. The Committee recommends that the State party seek technical cooperation for the training of professional staff working with and for children with disabilities from, inter alia, UNICEF and WHO. D.7. Education, leisure and cultural activities 30. The Committee notes the significant progress made in the field of education, including under the 20/20 Initiative adopted at the World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen in 1995. The Committee remains concerned that many children, particularly girls, still do not attend school. With respect to the general situation of education, the Committee notes with concern: the extent of overcrowding; high drop-out, illiteracy and repetition rates; lack of basic training materials; poorly maintained infrastructure and equipment; shortages of text books and other materials; and the insufficient number of trained teachers. The State party is encouraged to continue its efforts to promote the school attendance of girls. The Committee recommends that all appropriate measures be taken to improve the quality of education and to provide access for all children within the State party. In this connection, it is recommended that the State party seek to strengthen its educational system through closer cooperation with UNICEF and UNESCO. The State party is further urged to implement additional measures to encourage children to stay in school, at least during the period of compulsory education. D.8. Special protection measures 31. While recognizing the State partys openness to hosting refugees from neighbouring States, the Committee remains concerned at the lack of adequate legal provisions, policies and programmes to guarantee and protect the rights of refugee and asylum-seeking children. The Committee recommends that the State party develop a legislative framework for the protection of refugee and asylum-seeking children, and implement policies and programmes to guarantee them adequate access to health, education and social services. 32. The Committee notes the initiatives taken by the State party in the area of child labour and economic exploitation and in particular the recent study and follow-up activities undertaken in this regard, including the establishment of the National Programme to Combat Child Labour. However, the Committee remains concerned at the situation of child labour, especially as regards, children engaged in domestic and agricultural labour, children engaged in mining and traditional gold-washing and children engaged as apprentices in the informal sector. The Committee encourages the State party to improve its monitoring mechanisms to ensure the enforcement of labour laws and protect children from economic exploitation. The Committee also suggests that the State party increase its efforts to ratify ILO Convention No. 138 concerning Minimum Age for Admission to Employment and that it consider ratifying ILO Convention No. 182 concerning the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour.
