Paragraph- Paragraph text
- States should take all the measures necessary to give effect to the right of people of African descent, particularly children and young people, to free primary education and access to all levels and forms of quality public education without discrimination. Measures should be taken to increase the number of teachers of African descent working in educational institutions. The Working Group also urges States to take steps aimed at removing negative stereotypes and imagery in teaching materials, by promoting more inclusive education systems, and to take measures to reduce the school dropout rate for children of African descent, with greater support and attention to families and ensuring that curricula are accessible, culturally relevant, providing education in their own language and promoting their cultural heritage, where necessary. States must implement their human rights obligations regarding the content of education.
