Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 CHILDREN - The government provides
compulsory, free, and universal education for children through grade nine and
up to four additional years of free, voluntary secondary school education.
The Ministry of Education reported an attendance rate of nearly 100 percent
of school‑age children, with most children completing secondary school.
The government provided universal health care for all citizens, including
children. A number of Roma also reported
that their children attended segregated classes and were selected by authorities
in disproportionate numbers to attend classes for students with special
needs. In July 2004 the government provided funding for a regional program to
desegregate and expand Romani education by training Romani educational
facilitators and creating special enrichment programs in public
kindergartens. Other school districts hired Romani facilitators at their own
initiative and expense. The government has not developed a bilingual
curriculum for Roma on the grounds that there is not a standardized Romani language.
However, the government has funded research into codification of the
language. Concluding
Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) - 2004 [50] While welcoming the extension
of primary education from eight to nine years and the increase in the
enrolment rate in secondary education registered in the reporting period, the
Committee is concerned about the high school dropout rate in secondary
education. [56] The Committee welcomes the
Law on Asylum of 1999 and the amendments to the Law on Aliens of 2002 which
stipulate that cases involving children and adolescents should be given
priority and processed quickly and that a legal guardian should be appointed
to separated children in deportation procedures. The
Committee is, however, concerned about reports that unaccompanied children
are not provided with adequate support during the asylum procedure and that
the appointment of a legal guardian to such children takes too long. [60] The Committee notes with
concern the increasing use of illicit drugs among children in the State
party. Resolution

PROGRAMS OF SOLVING SOCIAL PROBLEMS Reintegration into society also covers
the group of drug users who cannot or do not wish to stop using drugs.
Suitable premises or shelters (distribution of food, night shelters,
possibility of maintaining personal hygiene etc.) must be provided for
individuals who, in addition to social exclusion (homelessness,
unemployment), are also at great risk of various illnesses. Because of the
multifaceted nature of problems that drugs can cause individuals, their
families and the wider community, diverse and integrated assistance programs
are crucial. Because of this, one can here also talk of positive
discrimination of drug users under equal conditions for all citizens. Social protection, health and repressive
organs should work in close connection in order to ensure suitable employment
and accommodation for drug users, as well as for former prisoners who have
committed offences in the drugs area. All material used herein
