248. In conformity with the provisions of article 29 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, article 54 of the Constitution provides that all citizens have a right to education which the State must safeguard, in accordance with the law, by establishing schools and cultural and educational institutions and by making education at the basic stage free. The State is making efforts to eradicate illiteracy and devote attention to the expansion of technical and vocational education. It is also particularly concerned to ensure the welfare of young people, protect them from delinquency, provide them with religious, mental and spiritual education and offer conditions conducive to the development of their aptitudes in all fields.
249. Under the terms and provisions of chapter V, article 81, of the Rights of the Child Act, the State is required to guarantee that education is free of charge, in accordance with the laws in force. Article 82 stipulates that: “The educational curricula shall aim to give the child a grounding in science and culture, develop his personality, talents and skills, introduce him to religious matters and teach him to have pride in himself and his dignity and to respect others and their dignity, as well as imbue him with charitable and humanitarian values, in order to ensure that he has a well-rounded background, making him a capable human being who has faith in his God and his homeland and is either capable of playing an effective part in production and services or ready to complete a higher education on the basis of equal opportunities for both sexes.”
250. As for training, programmes have been run for the professional groups who deal with children and the Ministry has been involved in training and retraining. During the period 19972002, a number of training courses were held to cover all aspects of education (curricula, school management and educational aids), as shown in the following tables:
