II. The Recommendations has a provision that reads “institutions (and programs) for the education of minorities must be made available”. I suggest that an additional provision be added. “Bodies to administrate education of minorities should be established (or entrusting relevant educational bodies duties to administrate education of minorities) and relevant academic research should be encouraged”. Education of minorities is distinct. In order to protect their rights to education, both educational institutions and administrative bodies of education of minorities have their duties and functions, none of which should be left out. In addition, it is also necessary to carry out relevant researches and to provide policy consultation. III. The Recommendations has shown due respect to the “local” feature of education of minorities and the important role of “local government” in implementing educational policies. I suggest that relevant provisions make it clear principled rules for local bodies to provide educational service. It could read like this “States should promote local governments to, in accordance with features and needs of minorities, provide effective educational service in a manner different in different areas, ethnic groups or kinds of education”. IV. The Recommendations will be implemented in countries of different history, culture and religious backgrounds. As a result, may I suggest it pay even more attention to conditions and practice of different countries, give special consideration to difficulties and challenges of developing countries in protecting right to education of minorities so that it has a certain degree of flexibility and accommodation while adhering principles of equality and non-discrimination.
