Basic health and welfare (arts. 6; 18 (para. 3); 23; 24; 26; 27 (paras. 1-3) of the Convention) Children with disabilities 48. The Committee welcomes different initiatives and efforts carried to ensure the rights of children with disabilities in the State party, including the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Nevertheless, the Committee is concerned that there is no comprehensive policy or national plan directed specifically at this sector of the population. Moreover, the Committee regrets that children with disabilities still continue to experience discrimination, teachers are not properly trained to assist their needs and there is a lack of collection of data concerning children with disabilities. 11
