Article 7(2) of the Convention. Effective and time-bound measures. Clause (a). Preventing the engagement of children in the worst forms of child labour. Access to free basic education. Following its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s information that from September 2014, the “Road to School” initiative was extended to all regions in the country so as to reach all school-age children. This initiative, which was designed to provide financial and material support to socially disadvantaged students from low-income families, reached 486,948 children in 2014. The Committee also notes from the August 2014 report of the United Nations Human Rights Council’s Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery (report of the UN Special Rapporteur) that the Ministry of Education issued Order No. 398 of 2012 which allows children of migrant workers, including seasonal workers, to attend schools with the same rights as Kazakh children (A/HRC/27/53/Add.2). The Committee further notes from the UNESCO statistics that in 2014 the net enrolment rate at the primary level and secondary level was 86.56 and 95.95 per cent, respectively. The UNESCO statistics also indicate that 5,110 children were out of school in 2014. Recalling that access to free basic education contributes to preventing the worst forms of child labour, the Committee requests the Government to pursue its efforts to ensure that all children have access to free basic education and to provide information on the measures taken in this regard as well as on the results achieved. It also requests the Government to provide information on the impact of Order No. 10398, in terms of the number of children of migrant workers who are able to access schools.

Clause (b). Providing the necessary and appropriate assistance for the removal of children from the worst forms of child labour and for their rehabilitation and social integration. Child victims of trafficking. Noting the absence of information in the Government’s report with regard to its previous comments, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the number of child victims of trafficking who have been provided assistance and rehabilitated in the crisis centres and shelters for victims of human trafficking.
