CRC/C/SAU/CO/3-4 subjects of rights and can become active participants in and contributors to society. The State party should set up a comprehensive policy to develop inclusive education and ensure that inclusive education is given priority over the placement of children in specialized institutions, while paying particular attention to children with mental and multiple disabilities. Adolescent health 35. Taking into consideration that the State party has still not recognized rape and incest as valid grounds for abortion, the Committee recommends that the State party decriminalize abortion in all circumstances and ensure access to safe abortion and post-abortion care services for adolescents. In the light of general comment No. 4 (2003) on adolescent health and development in the context of the Convention and general comment No. 15 (2013) on the right of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health, the Committee recommends that the State party adopt a comprehensive sexual and reproductive health policy for adolescents. It also recommends that the State party ensure that sexual and reproductive health education is part of the mandatory school curriculum and targets adolescent girls and boys, with special attention paid to preventing early pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections and fostering responsible sexual behaviour, particularly among boys. H. Education, leisure and cultural activities (arts. 28-31) Education and the aims of education 36. The Committee recommends that the State party ensure by law that primary education is compulsory for both girls and boys, send clear instructions to all education facilities in that respect and sanction parents who refuse to enrol their children in schools. The Committee also recommends that the State party ensure the same quality of education and educational options for girls and boys, and that physical education is made mandatory for girls. The State party should also, taking into account the Committee’s general comment No. 1 (2001) on the aims of education, strengthen its efforts to generalize non-stereotyped educational curricula, addressing the structural causes of gender-based discrimination. I. Special protection measures (arts. 22, 30, 32-33, 35, 36, 37 (b)-(d) and 38-40) Asylum-seeking and refugee children 37. While commending the State party for extending visas to Syrian refugees and issuing a Royal Decree regularizing the legal status of many Yemenis, including Yemeni children residing irregularly in the State party, the Committee recommends that the State party reinforce its cooperation with UNHCR with a view to undertaking a census of asylum-seeking and refugee children living on the territory of the State party and to responding to their specific protection needs. The State party should adopt the legal framework and all the measures necessary to effectively guarantee asylum-seeking and refugee children their rights under the Convention. In that respect, the Committee draws the attention of the State party to the guidelines issued by UNHCR in December 2009 on asylum claims made by children. The Committee also recommends that the State party consider ratifying the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol. 10
