the A major achievement of that plan
was the amendment of the National Ordinance on Compulsory Education, for
children 4 to 18 years, Ms. Leeflang observed.
Special attention had also been given to enforce compulsory education in a
multidisciplinary way. For youngsters who had already dropped out or
threatened to drop out, a compulsory Youth Training had been developed in
which training was given up to the age of 24 years. Another achievement was that by
2008 all legislation regarding primary, secondary and vocational education
had been revised. The new legislation included, for example, the obligation
of schools to report child abuse and the right of parents to choose the
instruction language of their child. Other examples of achievements made by
the Netherlands Antilles were efforts in the recognition and funding of
psychological treatment for children and a law adopted in October 2008 aimed
at protecting each child against child pornography (including virtual
images), prostitution and sexual
abuse, as well as a prohibition against the sale or provision of alcohol to
children, Ms. Leeflang concluded. Barometer of Human and Trade Union Rights in the Education
