CRC/C/15/Add.58 page 6 urgently required and must encompass all professionals working with or for children. In addition, the Committee recommends that the inclusion of children’s rights in the school curricula be pursued as a measure to enhance respect for the indigenous culture and multiculturalism and to combat paternalistic and discriminatory attitudes which, as recognized by the State party, continue to prevail in society. 31. With respect to article 4 of the Convention, it is the Committee’s opinion that sufficient budgetary provision must be made to respond to national and local priorities for the protection and promotion of children’s rights. While noting the trend towards decentralizing the provision of services to the municipal level as a means of promoting greater popular participation, the Committee emphasizes that such a policy must be designed to overcome and remedy existing disparities between the regions and rural/urban areas. To ensure the full implementation of article 4, the Committee recommends that consideration be given to the provision of international assistance within the general framework of the Convention. 32.
