children with disabilities. The manner and form of inclusive education must be dictated by the individual educational needs of the child. The State Party should not apply inclusive education by simply integrating children with disabilities into the regular system regardless of their challenges and needs. Rather, it should cater for the children’s’ specific needs by re-evaluating its education curriculum to address challenges faced by children with disability, incorporating special needs education training for teachers and other personnel involved in the education system , and providing and improving basic infrastructures suitable to children with disability. H. Special Protection Measures Child Labour 28. The Committee acknowledges the commitment made by the State Party to address the challenges related to child labour and calls upon the Government of Mozambique to further strengthen its capacity to inspect industries that are engaged in hazardous activities and employ children between the ages of 15-18. The Government should regulate and supervise both the formal and the informal sector, and implement with due diligence Article 15 of the Charter and the ILO Convention on Worst Forms of Child Labour. Protection against Child Abuse and Torture 29. The Committee appreciates the prohibition of corporal punishment as a sentence and recommends the State Party to explicitly ban corporal punishment in all settings including in school, the home and in alternative care centres. The State Party should ensure the respect of children’s right to be protected from violence. The Committee also calls upon the State Party to encourage positive discipline and to support families through awareness raising and training for those who are working for and with children such as teachers and care givers. Children in Conflict with the Law 30. The Committee appreciates the establishment of children’s court in Maputo and the 2012 pilot project on community service to avoid imprisonment of children in conflict with the law. However, there is a need to strengthen and expand these efforts throughout the country to ensure the wellbeing of children in conflict with the law. Therefore, the Committee recommends the State Party to make its juvenile justice system a child friendly system by consulting the Guidelines on Action for Children in the Justice System in Africa, to expand the children courts in other provinces and to continue implementing alternative discipline 7
