Education 306. Due to the recent expansion of educational services, there has been a significant increase in school enrolment figures. More schools are being constructed and parents’ awareness of the importance of education is being raised. There is free distribution of books at schools, but the provision of free meals is limited. The government has focused on the expansion of schools, but the educational system still faces problems of limited availability of classrooms and qualified teachers. Health 307. According to the CSAR, the government’s programme in the area of health includes six components: • Primary healthcare; • Healthcare in the fight against epidemics; • The fight against HIV/Aids; • The health network; • Human resources development; and • Health sector planning and management. 308. The CSAR indicates an improvement in the quality of basic healthcare services rendered due to the increase in the number of health centres. However, there remains a limitation in the training of doctors and in public awareness of health issues. Financing by the government towards the prevention of HIV transmission is still low. In Mozambique, the most prevalent diseases are malaria and HIV/Aids, with malaria accounting for 40 per cent of all cases treated. 16 In view of this situation, the government has adopted an integrated strategy for controlling the disease, based on combinations of various preventive and curative interventions. The government continues its efforts to increase gradually the number of health units throughout the country as a way to improve the provision of health services to the population. II. Findings of the CRM Civil and Political Rights 309. Mozambique is a party to the ICCPR, but not to the First Optional Protocol to this covenant, which would give individuals the right to access the complaints mechanisms provided for under the covenant. The Constitution guarantees important civil and political rights, and legislation is in place making these rights legally enforceable. 16 Ibid. 119
