12 Thus the net primary enrolment rate is estimated at 84.6%, the gross enrolment rate is estimated at 122.7%; the net admission rate for its part stands at 49.4% and the Gross Admission Rate is estimated at 118.3% for the 2007/2008 school year. Concerning the drop-out and promotion rates, these are estimated at 4.9% and 58.5% respectively for the same period. There is also need to point out a distinct improvement in the access to Secondary Education. Burundi is still at the stage of issuing encouragement measures for access to Education for all, but it has not yet decided to put in place a system of compulsory primary education. 3. Women’s Affairs If it must be admitted that there still remains much to be done in the realization of full respect for Women’s Rights, it should be said that the practice of genital mutilation does not exist in Burundi. Nonetheless other forms of sexual abuse like rape are experienced by women and girls. Likewise, cases of child trafficking, in particular that of young girls, are reported once on a while. 4. The Separation of the Three Powers The National post transition Constitution of 18 March 2005, recognizes, as did the one that preceded it, the separation of the 3 powers and the relations existing between them are defined in Chapter 7 (Relations between the Executive and the Legislature) and in Chapter 8 (the Judiciary). Thus Article 192 stipulates that « The initiative of promulgating Laws belongs concurrently to the President of the Republic, to the Government, to the National Assembly and to the Senate». Regarding Article 209, it spells out that « the Judiciary is impartial and independent from the Legislature and from the Executive ». In the exercise of his duties the Judge is answerable to only the Constitution and to the Law. The President of the Republic, Head of State, is the garantor of the independence of the Judiciary. He is assisted in this mandate by the Supreme Council of the Judiciary. 5. The management of Government or of Parliamentary Crises In accordance with Article 234 of the Constitution of 18 March 2005, « the High Court of Justice has competence to judge the President of the Republic for high treason, the President of the National Assembly, the President of the Senate and the Vice-Presidents of the Republic for crimes and offences committed in the execution of their mandate ».
