In addition to the Constitution of Sierra Leone, there are other laws which guarantee the enjoyment of this right and regulate the manner in which it can be realised. The Education Act 200410 for example provides for pre-primary education, technical and vocational training, adult and non-formal education and establishes the role of universities in providing education; and to provide for other related matters. Also, Sierra Leone has in place various legislature which regulates the activities of the various institutions under the education sector. These include the Tertiary Education Commission Act11, the Polytechnics Act12, the Sierra Leone Teaching Service Commission Act13, and the National Council for Technical, Vocational and Other Awards Act14, and the Universities Act of 200515. When there was a serious issue or allegation relating to the educational sector, a commission of enquiry was set up by the government to look into the issue/issues in dispute. In 2010, the Gbamanja Commission was set up to investigate the reason for low level of performance/malpractice of students at public exams. The Commission conducted investigations and made recommendations as to the possible solutions of the issueshighlighted. From the recommendations proffered implementation was expedited, the result will be long term but one of the short term results has been proof by statistics that there is an increase in the enrolment of the girl child at primary school level. In primary and secondary institutions, the discourse of human rights is not in the context of the curriculum. In tertiary institutions efforts are being made for elements of human rights and democracy to be included in the curriculum. Cultural rights are protected by section 12 of the constitution of Sierra Leone. Creative and Practical Arts is included in the school curriculum. Also, local languages are currently being taught in schools. African Studies, a study of the African Culture and traditions is being offered in tertiary institutions to help display and promote our culture there is a national museum in Freetown which, even though it is limited to the capital, crusades the culture of the nation. The Sierra Leone Broadcasting Cooperation (SLBC) also aids the promotion of culture by broadcasting programmes on our culture and cultural heritage. To promote the morals of the State, Religious and Moral Education is included in the school curriculum. The enactment of the Customary Marriage and Divorce Act, the Child Rights Act which have discouraged and isolated negative traditional practices such as forced marriage, early marriage, deprivation of women of property ownership, and to protect women in areas of inheritance etc. Also, measures are in place to preserve and enhance the practices of dispute resolutions through the traditional courts. Despite these improvements, there are still certain challenges Sierra Leone is faced with. One such challenge is the importation of the western culture in our society, which has greatly undermined our cultural, traditional and moral values. There are also harmful traditional practices still in practice. 10 Act No. 2 of 2004 Act No. 8 of 2001 12 Act No. 9 of 2001 13 Act No.1 of 2011 14 Act No. 10 of 2001 15 Act No. 1 of 2005 11 21
