- The
government is committed to the welfare of citizen children. The government
provided for a well‑funded, free public education system (elementary
through university) and a complete medical protection program. Education was
compulsory for citizen children through the age of 15 and was free through
primary school (the equivalent of ninth grade) for all citizen children and
for non-citizen children whose parents worked in the government sector. Based
on 2004 figures from the Planning Council, approximately 60 percent of
school-age children attended school, and most children completed primary
school. Medical coverage for non-citizen children was limited. The lack of
primary educational and medical services to non-citizen children caused
hardship for a substantial part of the expatriate population living in the
country. Concluding Observations of the Committee on
