CRC/C/BOL/CO/4 page 16 Children with an imprisoned parent 65. The Committee is concerned about the high number of children living in prison due to the imprisonment of one of their parents, as well as the safety, healthy development and living conditions of these children. 66. The Committee recommends that the State party develop and implement clear guidelines on the placement of children with their parent in prison, in instances where this is considered to be in the best interests of the child, and ensure safety and living conditions, including health care, adequate for the child's development as required by article 27 of the Convention. It further recommends that the State party develop and implement adequate alternative care for children who are removed from prison and without care in the extended family and that these children are supported to maintain personal contact and relationships with the parent remaining in prison. 7. Education, leisure and cultural activities (arts. 28, 29 and 31 of the Convention) Education, including vocational training and guidance 67. The Committee welcomes the new Constitution which establishes free and compulsory primary and secondary education. It also welcomes the “Juancito Pinto Bonus Programme” which has reduced dropout rates and increased school attendance, and takes note of the planned new educational law “Avelino Sinani” which deals with the cultural diversity in the country. The Committee is however concerned that not all children, particularly indigenous children, attend primary school despite the introduction of compulsory education, and that some primary school fees continue to be charged despite the constitutional guarantee of free education. The Committee is further concerned at the lack of preschools, the poor quality of education in consequence of insufficient teacher training, the low transition rate from primary to secondary school and the marked gender disparity in secondary school. 68. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Ensure free primary education by abolishing fees and any other costs in all schools; (b) Strengthen measures to keep children in school and facilitate the transition from primary to secondary school; (c) Ensure that also girls and indigenous children fully realize their right to education; (d) Improve the quality of teacher training, particularly with regard to intercultural and bilingual education; (e) Expand the vocational training facilities, including for children who have left school before graduation;
