P a g e | 58 8.0 EDUCATION, LEISURE AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES 8.1 Education including vocational training (Article 11) Legislative Article 28 of the Constitution of Lesotho protects the provision of education to all for their full development. It makes primary education compulsory and free for all and says that high school education should be progressively free according to the means of the GoL. Free primary education is further enshrined in the FPE Act for children ages 6-13 years. The CPW Act at section 11 protects a child's right to education, regardless of a disability or pregnancy. It specifies that a child has the right to sexual and reproductive education information. Administrative The Education Sector Strategy is the overarching policy document. Through the Education Policy for All, the GoL aims to ensure that all pre-primary school aged children are provided with opportunities for physical, mental, moral and spiritual growth. The Integrated Early Childhood Care and Development (IECCD) Strategy piloted reception classes in 10 primary schools for pre-school aged children to provide life skills. The School Supervision and Management Regulations abolished use of corporal punishment in schools. Bursary payments for school supplies and fees are part of the GoL's policy environment to improve school enrollment levels. The MoET has an inclusive policy for education of children with disability. Government and privately owned and run vocational schools offer programs to learn skills such as woodwork, metal work, leather work, sewing, plumbing and electrical. As previously noted, there are a handful of vocational schools specifically for people with disabilities. Lesotho has a specific college for agriculture to learn sustainable methods of growing crops. Vocational type subjects are also offered within primary and high schools, as well as at the Juvenile Detention Centre for boys including home economics, fashion & fabrics, woodwork, food and nutrition and agriculture. Graduates from the JTC receive a MoET graduation certificate up until primary level, as do teenage mothers who attend and graduate from Good Shepherd Home for Mothers School for this purpose.
