(c) Widening of the gap in access to quality education resulting from the increase in the provision of private education and disproportionately affecting girls and children of low- income families;

Recalling its general comment No. 13 on right to education, the Committee recommends that the State party assumes primary responsibility for the provision of quality education to all children. To this end it should:

(c) Strengthen regulations and expand monitoring and oversight mechanisms for private education institutions
