 To undertake to address factors which continue to prevent girls from attending school and staying in school;  To revitalise the free bus ride for school children and ensure children in underserved communities have access to the service; and  To ensure the completion and implementation of the manual on positive forms of discipline for teachers with a view to eventually enacting a legislation prohibiting the use of corporal punishment in school. Leisure, Recreation and Culture 27. The Committee notes the efforts of the State Party to ensure that children have recreational and leisure spaces with the creation of an amusement park and the designation of places in the community for children along with scheduled breaks in the school timetable. However the Committee is concerned that the efforts made are not sufficient for children to enjoy the right. The Committee is further concerned over the minimum regulation of media houses with regards to the contents it airs at certain times. The Committee is also concerned that the only television channel dedicated to children has been scrapped. 28. The Committee therefore recommends that the State Party create more recreational spaces for children throughout its regions and make them accessible to children with disabilities also ensure the maintenance of these spaces. The Committee also recommends that regulations should be developed for media houses with regards to the content it airs at particular times of the day. H. Special Protection Measures Children with disabilities 29. The Committee notes with satisfaction that the laws of the State Party provides for the welfare of persons with disabilities. The Committee however notes that despite the Persons with Disability Act 2006, many children with disabilities continue to not enjoy the right to education and efforts to promote inclusive education have not yielded the expected outcome. The Committee is concerned that facilities have not been adapted to the needs of children with disabilities and specialized healthcare services are not widely available and affordable with many children with disabilities left in adult psychiatric hospitals and prayer camps where they face further violation. It is also brought to the Committee’s attention that children with disabilities continue to be used by their parents as objects of begging. The Committee notes especially that despite the requirement in the 1992 Constitution and the Children’s Act, funding for the promotion of persons with disabilities continue to be inadequate and the 2% allocated by the District Assembly Common Fund is not readily accessible. The National Council on Persons with Disability is also inadequately funded. 9
