TIMOR-LESTE: Report on the First National Survey of Disability in Timor-Leste’s Primary Schools

"Date: 27/03/2009
Organisation: Plan International - Timor Leste
Resource type: Publication (general)


In partnership with the Ministry of Education and Assert, a local disability NGO, Plan Timor-Leste conducted a survey of disability among children in 336 primary schools across all the 13 districts of Timor-Leste in June 2008. The study, Ami Hotu Ba Eskola, revealed that only 1.02 per cent of children with a disability have access to primary education and that the most common disability types are intellectual and physical ones. It also found that more boys than girls with a disability are attending school and that one-third of all disabled students have a moderate or severe disability.

The report contains key recommendations along the areas of policy support, pre- and in-service training for teachers, awareness raising on disability in communities and the general public, as well as the need for disability-friendly building codes.

Committee on the Rights of the Child

Monitoring children's rights
...
[Image: Some of the students at the school in Fatu-Ahi, East Timor.
 (UN/DPI Photo# 203235C)]The Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is the body of independent experts that monitors implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child by its State parties. It also monitors implementation of two optional protocols to the Convention, on involvement of children in armed conflict and on sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography.
All States parties are obliged to submit regular reports to the Committee on how the rights are being implemented. States must report initially two years after acceding to the Convention and then every five years. The Committee examines each report and addresses its concerns and recommendations to the State party in the form of “concluding observations”.

The Committee reviews additional reports which must be submitted by States who have acceded to the two Optional Protocols to the Convention.

[image: Students in Karachi, Pakistan. (UN Photo #153528)]The Committee cannot consider individual complaints, although child rights may be raised before other committees with competence to consider individual complaints.

The Committee meets in Geneva and normally holds three sessions per year consisting of a three-week plenary and a one-week pre-sessional working group. In 2006, the Committee considered reports in two parallel chambers of 9 members each, "as an exceptional and temporary measure", in order to clear the backlog of reports.

The Committee also publishes its interpretation of the content of human rights provisions, known as general comments on thematic issues and organizes days of general discussion.
