measures, to increase the representation of women, including minority women, in tertiary and higher education;  place high priority on the reduction of illiteracy rate of women, in particular those belonging to ethnic minority groups;  provide education, both formal and informal, to women, including ethnic minority women, especially in rural areas; and  implement measures to decrease dropout rates among minority girls, including minority girls living in rural areas, and reintegrate them into the educational system. The CEDAW Committee recommends that States parties take a holistic approach to eliminate multiple forms of discrimination that ethnic minority women face and accelerate the achievement of their de facto equality. In addition to the core principles of equality and non discrimination, it is also very important to use the core principles of the CEDAW Convention on equality between women and men and non discrimination against women, and apply them on minorities, as well as with respect to the right to education.
