want to take care of their children themselves, more than 60% of them have a hard time in affording the expenses of caring and educating their children and above 80% live in an unstable residence paying monthly housing rents. 57. Young unwed mothers can hardly continue their schooling. According to the data released by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in 2008, 43% of young unwed mothers were attending school but 23% of them were once asked to leave temporarily or drop out of the school. The 2008 NHRCK Survey of the Status of Young Unwed Mothers' Right to Education reveals that, out of the 63 young unwed mothers who responded to the survey questions, 71.4% stopped their schooling already while they were pregnant and 87.6% wanted to continue their schooling. NHRCK recommended in 2010 that the relevant government agencies and ministries should devise or revise the national legislation, regulations or guidelines to guarantee the right to education of young unwed mothers, specifically providing for a ban on disciplinary actions or discrimination against the students on the ground of their pregnancy or child bearing; protective arrangements for young unwed mothers, including sick leave or temporary leave of absence for the period of pregnancy or delivery; a minimum resting place for young unwed mothers within the school; a stronger link with alternative schools for commissioned education of young unwed mothers; and financial supports for their living, education, employment and medical treatment. It is welcomed that the Government expressed its intention to accept the recommendation in December 2010. 58. The Government should fully implement the NHRCK's recommendation on the guarantee of young unwed mothers' right to education and, furthermore, provide them and their children with a range of social welfare services covering schooling, livelihood and residence, as well as consulting and advice on legal affairs, employment and education. 4.

According to the 2010 Report on the National Status of Child Abuse, the cases of neglect and psychological abuse (two types of child abuse) are growing at the fastest rate and take up the largest portions in the cases of child abuse. In this light, the Government is required to take prompt actions to handle the cases of neglect and psychological abuse, as well as proactive measures to prevent occurrence of those cases (see Table 35). The number of reported cases of repeated child abuse was 503, which 5 Table 3.
