25.
States parties should also consider establishing a review procedure which responds to
complaints that existing policies or practices are not consistent with article 29 (1). Such review
procedures need not necessarily entail the creation of new legal, administrative, or educational
bodies. They might also be entrusted to national human rights institutions or to existing
administrative bodies. The Committee requests each State party when reporting on this article to
identify the genuine possibilities that exist at the national or local level to obtain a review of
existing approaches which are claimed to be incompatible with the Convention. Information
should be provided as to how such reviews can be initiated and how many such review
procedures have been undertaken within the reporting period.

In order to better focus the process of examining States parties’ reports dealing with
article 29 (1), and in accordance with the requirement in article 44 that reports shall indicate
factors and difficulties, the Committee requests each State party to provide a detailed indication
in its periodic reports of what it considers to be the most important priorities within its
jurisdiction which call for a more concerted effort to promote the values reflected in this
provision and to outline the programme of activities which it proposes to take over the
succeeding five years in order to address the problems identified.
27.
The Committee calls upon United Nations bodies and agencies and other competent
bodies whose role is underscored in article 45 of the Convention to contribute more actively and
systematically to the Committee’s work in relation to article 29 (1).
28.
Implementation of comprehensive national plans of action to enhance compliance with
article 29 (1) will require human and financial resources which should be available to the
maximum extent possible, in accordance with article 4. Therefore, the Committee considers that
resource constraints cannot provide a justification for a State party’s failure to take any, or
enough, of the measures that are required. In this context, and in light of the obligations upon
States parties to promote and encourage international cooperation both in general terms (arts. 4
and 45 of the Convention) and in relation to education (art. 28 (3)), the Committee urges States
parties providing development cooperation to ensure that their programmes are designed so as to
take full account of the principles contained in article 29 (1).
