E/C.12/RUS/CO/6 Committee refers the State party to its general comment No. 22 (2016) on the right to sexual and reproductive health. Right to education 56. The Committee notes the progress made in increasing access to quality education by the general population and the substantial level of public spending on education. The Committee remains, however, concerned about the: (a) Persistence of regional and rural/urban disparities in school enrolment, attributed to uneven distribution of resource allocations; (b) High number of children with disabilities attending special schools or out of school, and the absence of reasonable accommodations to facilitate children’s access to inclusive education; (c) Instances of harassment in schools, including against lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender children or children of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender families; (d) Instances of obstacles faced by child asylum seekers and child refugees in access to education owing to a lack of identity or registration documents; (e) Continuing practice of placing Roma children in special classes or special schools, coupled with limited access to quality education and high dropout rates, especially at secondary school level (arts. 13 and 14). 57. The Committee recommends that the State party pursue its efforts towards achieving universal access to quality education. In doing so, the State party should ensure just and fair distribution of resources across the regions and pay particular attention to rural areas. The Committee also recommends that the State party: (a) Take effective measures to facilitate access by children with disabilities to inclusive education, including by allocating resources for the provision of reasonable accommodation and any additional support needed, and training teachers; (b) Implement a zero-tolerance policy against harassment in schools, paying particular attention to lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender children or children of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender families, and ensure effective protection of victims of bullying and their families; (c) Take steps to ensure that admission to school is not subject to administrative conditions, and draw the attention of school principals to the ruling of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, according to which the absence of registration cannot serve as the basis for non-admission to school; (d) Put an end to de facto school segregation of Roma children, and take effective and targeted measures to increase access to quality education by all Roma children with a view also to raising the secondary school completion rate by Roma children; (e) Take into account the Committee’s general comment No. 13 (1999) on the right to education. Cultural rights 58. The Committee is concerned about the risk of extinction of many indigenous languages. It is also concerned at arbitrary restrictions imposed on indigenous peoples’ means of livelihood, such as hunting and fishing (art. 15). 59. The Committee recommends that the State party step up its efforts to promote and preserve indigenous languages. The Committee also recommends that the State party repeal or amend any restrictions that could result in hampering indigenous peoples from sustaining their means of livelihood, including hunting and fishing. 10
