ME ANNA THERESA CRUZ (Istituto Internazionale Maria Ausiliatrice delle Salesiane di Don Bosco) has recoognized efforts made by the Government of Honduras in protecting children's rights. However, the low quality of education in the country remains worrying. Although 90% of children are enrolled in primary school, it takes an average of more than 9 years to go from first to sixth grade, mainly because of the poverty of the families, the schooling conditions, absenteeism and inefficient teaching methods. The government has been asked to adopt measures in order to insure education for all and improve schooling conditions, in particular in rural areas. The persistence of corporal punishments, child labor and the situation of street children, which are estimated to amount to 10'000, are also sources of concern. The Government of Honduras must react and provide housing, food, health care and education to these children according to the Convention on the Rights of the Child to which Honduras is a party.
