Education, leisure and cultural activities 26. The Committee applauds the State Party for the introduction of the Fee Free Primary Education Policy in 2002/03 and the enactment of the Education Act in 2004. The Committee notes that the unfortunate Civil War that the Country has passed through for more than a decade and the recent outbreak of the Ebola crises drastically affected the education system of the country through displacement of children, the interruption of schooling for many years for significant number of children and destruction of educational infrastructure, among others. The Committee has observed that the girl child, particularly, faces discrimination in the educational sector. It is further noted that even though the State Party has abolished school fees, primary education is still not completely free, due to the fact that many schools independently impose variety of charges on their students, which is unbearable for most families amidst widespread poverty. To address these and other related challenges regarding the full realisation of the right to education to all children, the Committee recommends the State Party to take the following measures: a) Take steps to eliminate all costs, direct and indirect, of primary education in public schools and ensure that free and compulsory primary education is attained in the Country; 11
