The Committee also notes that the Basic Education Assistance Module, program to support the education of orphaned and vulnerable children, is based in the Department of Social Welfare. There are instances where school fees from this support are not disbursed on time forcing children to enroll late or to stay out of school. Hence, the Committee observes that there needs to be coordination among actors that manage safety net programs for education. In relation to education for children with disabilities, the Committee notes that Education Amendment Bill intends to require schools to have the necessary facilities to respond to the needs of children with disabilities. However, currently schools are not disability friendly and there is lack of teachers trained for special needs education. 7.8. Special measures of protection i. Refugee/asylum seeking children: The Committee observes that there are outlined tools on the treatment of asylum seeking children and other children who need reunification and that there are guidelines developed for international referral/reunification. Children are put in alternative care when they need psychological support and return is undertaken through return referral letter. The Committee also learns that there is an operational referral mechanism as well as family tracing and reunification. The Committee further notes that the Government escorts a child who is being returned or reunified up to the border and the other country will receive the in international reunification procedure. To smoothen the support for children on the move, the State Party has established a tripartite relationship between Immigration, Department of Child Welfare and the office of the Registrar General. Moreover, the Committee observes that the Government of Zimbabwe actively engages on cross border coordination mechanisms and allocates budget for such collaborations. ii. Children in conflict with the law: The Committee was informed that there is a pre-trial diversion program and separate correctional services for children, hence children are not imprisoned or detained with adults. At every police station, there is a division that deals with children in conflict with the law and children are not arrested until investigations are carried out. Furthermore, the case of children in conflict with the law is not dealt with the ordinary court; rather a committee established for this purpose decides what punishments should be applied on a child in conflict with the law. The pre-trial diversion program is provided in a policy document and the Child Justice Bill provides for the same and thereby gives it a legal basis once adopted. The Committee was also informed that life imprisonment has never been pronounced against children in conflict with the law. In cases where detention of children has been pronounced as a sentence, children in conflict with the law are not imprisoned but detained in separate facilities than adults where they get access to education which is the same as the national curriculum. Despite the above-mentioned efforts, the Committee was informed that during the recent public demonstrations, children were arrested, subjected to ordinary 10
