Committee would suggest that the Government should take other measures to ensure that these gaps are closed, or at least shrunk. 21. The Committee commends the Government for the creation and provision of social grants to those in need. However, the Committee also takes note of the fact that the amount of money offered through the child support grant is insufficient to address the issue of poverty and inequality as it remains an amount below the food poverty line. Furthermore, the Committee notes that the number of beneficiaries of the foster care grant has declined significantly. The Committee, therefore, recommends the following: A) that the Government revises the amount given in the child support grant and that the new amount be above the food poverty line; B) that the Government investigate the reasons for the decline in the number of the foster care grant beneficiaries, with a view to ensure that those that are eligible for the grant are not denied access as a result of various barriers. 22. The Committee also notes with appreciation the presence of Care Dependency Grant (CDG) for children with disabilities. However, many children with disabilities in need of support face challenge to access the care dependency grant due to existing inconsistencies between the Social Assistance Act and its Regulations. Although care dependency grant was extended to children with disabilities who require support services in 2004 regardless of the nature or severity of their disabilities, the Regulations under the Social Assistance Act, which are meant to guide the implementation of the law, do not reflect this extension. In this regard, the Committee recommends to the Government to ensure that all children with disabilities in need of support access care dependency grant regardless of the nature or severity of their disability by aligning the Regulations under the Social Assistance Act with the Social Assistant Act. 23. The Committee notes with appreciation the existence of child and youth care centres (CYCCs).The Committee takes this opportunity to recommend that the Government direct efforts towards determining the number of such facilities that exist, their registration status, as well as do a quality audit to ensure that they comply with minimum standards to ensure the rights of children living there are protected. Furthermore, the Committee recommends to the Government to make available effective reunification services to ensure that children having biological parents reunify with their parents instead of staying in CYCCs. F) Education, leisure and cultural activities 24. The Committee notes with appreciation the measures taken by the State Party to ensure access to high quality education, inter alia, provision of support materials, which are key to improve curriculum delivery. However, the Committee notes with great concern that the inequality within the South African education system has 8
