the appropriate knowledge and skill. The Committee urges the government to establish health centres accessible to all people in all regions. 32. In addition, the Committee calls the government to encourage and promote exclusive breast feeding for the first 6 month to ensure the wellbeing of children and their survival. G. Education, leisure and cultural activities 33. The Committee notes with appreciation the measures the Government has taken to improve education and the increase enrolment of children in primary schools. However, the Committee is worried about the great disparity in education between urban and rural areas as well as between boys and girls. The Committee, therefore, recommends the State Party to take all the necessary measures to avoid the disparity in the enrolment of urban and rural children by making schools accessible to rural children. The Committee refers the State Party to Article 11(3)(e) of the African Children’s Charter which requires taking special measures to ensure that girls, gifted and disadvantaged children have equal access to education. The Committee recommends the Government to encourage girls to attend schools by providing the necessary equipment for hygiene,sanitary pad and by giving themincentives to attend schools such as scholarships and low entry level. 34. The other concerns of the Committee with regard to education relate to the quality of education, low enrolment and the high dropout of children in secondary education. The Committee recommends that the quality of education be escalated in order to provide education directed towards the promotion and development of the children’s personality.The Committee recommends for training and recruiting more teachers to bring the teacher-pupil ratio to an acceptable level and ensure the attendance of teachers. The Committee encourages the Government to address the cause of the low enrolment in and high dropout from secondary education. 35. The Committee notes there is only one primary school and no secondary school which accommodates children with disabilities. The Committee, therefore,urges the State Party to introduce an inclusive education system which allows children with disabilities to be mainstreamed in the education system. The Government to this effect may accelerate giving training for teachers, providing basic infrastructures and teaching materials to address the particular needs of children with disabilities. Moreover, the Government should realise the right of children with disabilities to play and leisure by assuring that they have the necessary materials suitable for their particular needs. H. Special Protection Measures On children in situation of exploitation and abuse 36. The Committee welcomes the establishment of victims’ centre in Conakry and encourages the State Party to establish such centres in all regions of the country.Taking note of this and other efforts of the Government in addressing issues of violence, the Committee still regrets that there is abuse in the Qur’anic schools which the Government has condoned. As it was highlighted in the constructive dialogue with the State Party, the Government admitted the violence
