construction of separate toilets and the installation of functional water points in all schools in Senegal; e. Implement Act No. 2004-37 by ensuring free secondary education is fully free by removing tuition fees and indirect costs in accordance with; f. Construct additional schools and basic infrastructure in the rural areas to reduce the impact of long travel hours, to and from schools, on students’ health and learning abilities. 33. Further, the Committee recommends the State Party to adopt laws and policies to ensure the inclusion of children’s recreational areas in all development plans and real estate projects, authorized by the States technical services. In addition, the Committee recommends that the State Party undertakes measures to increase the resources available to CDEPS and cultural centers to make them attractive platforms for children and youths, and to develop healthy leisure and cultural activities, especially in areas where there are no infrastructure and appropriate facilities. F. Children with disabilities 34. The Committee notes with appreciation that, in 2010, Senegal ratified the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, but despite a number of initiatives by the Government, the following challenges persist; stigmatization, preventing children with disabilities from accessing social protection, health-care services and an inclusive quality education system on an equal basis with other children, lack of reliable disaggregated data by age and sex on the situation of children with disabilities, including the percentage of children attending mainstream schools with adequate support measures and lack of effective representation of children with disabilities in the national discourse, particularly in the Children’s Parliament 35. The Committee is further concerned at the insufficient number of trained teachers, schools and classrooms, and the lack of relevant learning material in the state party, which affect the quality of education. The Committee also notes with concern that almost all special schools remain concentrated between Dakar and Thiès, leaving thousands of children out in the other regions of the country. Moreover, a significant number of children receiving education attend Koranic schools that are not aligned with the public school curriculum, and have little or no provision for students with disability. 36. The Committee thus recommends the government of Senegal to design and adopt all the necessary measures to combat the stigmatization of children with disabilities and to ensure they have access to social and health-care 11
