- The
government has no special programs for children, and there is no special
governmental office for children's matters; however, the government was
strongly committed to children's rights and welfare. It amply funded a system
of public education and need-based subsidies of health insurance. Education was free
and compulsory for 9 years, from age 6 or 7 through age 16 or 17, depending
on the canton. Some cantons offered a 10th school year. Almost all children
attended school. Almost 60 percent completed professional vocational or technical
training with another 30 percent continuing to earn higher-level specialized
or university degrees. Concluding

illegal drugs among adolescents. [59] The Committee
is concerned at the lack of information on Roma and travelers and their
children in the State party and that there is no policy for these children. Street Children & Homeless Juveniles in
