Comprehensive, rights-based and child-centred care, recovery and reintegration programmes 2015, para. 55
- Paragraph text
- Even though access to education, vocational training and life skills is an essential aspect of recovery and reintegration, child victims often face challenges in accessing them. In many cases, child victims have never attended school. In other cases, they are unable to enrol in school owing to discrimination or lack of a residence permit. Additional barriers include lack of identity documents, in particular birth certificates, loss of educational records, financial and geographical barriers, gender discrimination, bullying or teasing, corporal punishment, feeling uncomfortable in the school environment, difficulties with concentration, older children not wanting to be placed in classes with very young children and children needing to work. When education is provided in shelters, children with different abilities may be placed in the same class; studying may not lead to an accreditation and the quality of teaching may not be of the same standard as in formal schools.
