The Committee recommends that the State party implement the recommendations of the Special Rapporteur on the right to food further to his mission to Guatemala in 2010. 7. Education, leisure and cultural activities (arts. 28, 29 and 31 of the Convention) Education, including vocational training and guidance 79. The Committee welcomes Governmental agreement No. 22-2004, which establishes the comprehensive application of bilingual education and the compulsory use of national languages in instruction. Under this agreement, the teaching and practice of multiculturalism and interculturalism in the classroom in Mayan languages, Garifuna or Xinca and/or Spanish is compulsory. 80. The Committee also notes with satisfaction that Article 37 of the PINA Law provides for free and compulsory education up to the last grade of secondary education, as well as the free school programme launched in 2009. It is however concerned that the increased demand for education has not been met with adequate educational infrastructure, human and technical resources. The Committee is also concerned at the very low rate of school retention. 81. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Provide free-of-charge education in practice as well as a sufficient number of schools, school materials and adequately trained teachers; (b) Take all the necessary measures to ensure that children complete primary and secondary school by taking specific action to address the reasons behind non-completion of schooling; and (c) Take into account the Committee’s general comment No. 1 (2001) on the aims of education. 8.

The Committee recommends that the State party enact a migration law that addresses the situation faced by migrant children and create tools to address the existing problems, especially with regard to unaccompanied migrant children. The Committee brings to the State party’s attention its general comment No. 6 (2005) on the treatment of unaccompanied and separated children outside their country of origin. Children in armed conflict 84.
