Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Convention of the Rights of the Child establishes, in article 28 (b), that States shall "encourage the development of different forms of secondary education, including general and vocational education". The Committee on the Rights of the Child has stressed the importance of providing vocational training at the end of compulsory education at the age of 12. It has also underlined the need to ensure the availability of vocational training opportunities for all children and adolescents on an equal basis for boys and girls, with priority given to children from vulnerable groups and children who dropped out of (primary or secondary) school. The Committee has put focus on those children who "left school without certificates, enabling them to acquire competencies and skills in order to enhance their work opportunities".
