are forced to attend in the daaras where they are not subjected to school fees except for the daily quota they should bring by begging. Nevertheless, the children do not get the necessary education they are entitled to in the daaras. The talibés do not get education in daaras as they spend more time in begging to fulfill their daily quota. In addition, the government failed to provide the necessary curriculum and facilities in which the daaras function in delivering education. 49.The Committee refers to the General Comment of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child on the aims of education, which states that education should be designed to empower the child by developing his or her skills, learning and other capacities, human dignity, self-esteem and self-confidence.*> Committee also refers to Article 9(b) of the Cairo Declaration on Islam which states that ‘every human being has a right to receive worldly education’.

But the authorities have largely failed to take concrete steps to enforce the law and end the exploitation and abuse of the talibés. Therefore, the Government of Senegal has violated the right to education of the talibés by failing to ensure the availability, accessibility and acceptability of the education and supervising the daaras.
