- Abstract:
The South African Child Gauge, published yearly by the Children's Institute at the University of Cape Town, has three parts: Children and Law Reform, Meaningful Access to Basic Education, and Children Count-The Numbers. Children and Law Reform discusses recent legislative developments affecting children, including commentary on the Child Justice Act, the Criminal Law Sentencing Amendment Act, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, policy developments in education, the Regulations to the Children's Act as amended, the Social Service Professions Bil,l and Regulations to the Social Assistance Act. Meaningful Access to Basic Education presents a series of nine essays that examine children's right to education and what is required to ensure meaningful access to basic education in South Africa. Essays focus on the right to education, meaningful access, budgetary frameworks, and school fee waivers, children who are out of school, the relationship between poverty and exclusion partnerships between schools and communities, and what is required to build a strong foundation in numeracy and literacy. Children Count-The Numbers updates a set of key indicators on childrens socio-economic rights and comments on the extent to which these rights have been realised. The indicators track the demographics of child care arrangements and their access to social assistance, education, healthcare services, housing, water, sanitation and electricity.
