Opinions on the first National Report of Korea on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities TV stations and IPTVs which provide reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities. No statistics on the implementation status of mandatory education and supply vs. demand for pre-schooling of children with disabilities in Clause 113, no statistics on the ratio of persons with disabilities to all university students and the installation rate of the Disability Support Centers in Clause 116. The lack of such information poses an obstacle to examining the implementation status of the Convention. 2) Recommendation The government should build a system to manage various statistics on persons with disabilities individually produced by ministries and public organizations, in a more comprehensive and systematic manner. It is also necessary that statistics on persons with disabilities should be compiled in a more specific manner, such as by type of disabilities (ex: statistics of traffic accident statistics, disease incidence rates, disaster incidence rates, etc. broken down by type of disabilities) and by beneficiaries to policies (ex: students, women or children with disabilities, persons with developmental disabilities) so as to capture the human rights status of persons with disabilities in more details. 18.
