E/C.12/BFA/CO/1 in secondary schools; fully implement the Plan for Strategic Development of Basic Education with a view to guaranteeing access by all children to the educational system, with the focus on preschool education and support for inclusive education for children with a disability; and urgently address the high dropout rate from both primary and secondary education, particularly among girls, by implementing the national fast track for girls education policy. It also recommends that the State party improve the quality and infrastructure of schools, particularly in rural areas, and continue its efforts to implement its literacy plan. Access to the Internet 51. The Committee notes with concern that the population living in the State party has only limited access to the Internet (art. 15). 52. The Committee recommends that the State party increase access to the Internet and redouble its efforts to set up educational and information centres focusing on the use of new technologies and the Internet. The Committee also recommends that the State party continue its efforts to improve electricity coverage across the country. D. Other recommendations 53. The Committee encourages the State party to ratify the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. 54. The Committee recommends that the State party take steps gradually to develop and apply appropriate indicators on the implementation of economic, social and cultural rights, in order to facilitate an evaluation of the progress achieved by the State party in terms of fulfilling its obligations under the Covenant for the various sectors of the population. In that connection, the Committee would refer the State party to the conceptual and methodological framework for human rights indicators developed by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (HRI/MC/2008/3, chap. 1). 55. The Committee requests the State party to disseminate these concluding observations widely among all sectors of society, particularly among State officials, the judiciary, members of parliament, lawyers and civil society organizations and to inform the Committee, in its next periodic report, on the steps taken to implement them. It also encourages the State party to engage civil society organizations in the discussions to be held at the national level prior to the submission of its next periodic report. 56. The Committee requests the State party to submit its second periodic report by 30 June 2021 and invites it to submit an updated version of its common core document, in accordance with the harmonized guidelines on reporting under the international human rights treaties, covering the common core document and reports for each instrument (HRI/MC/2006/3). 10 GE.16-11935
