A/HRC/13/10 90. Portugal informed that the Criminal Code criminalized various conducts encompassing crimes of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and child pornography. The Portuguese judiciary police have celebrated a protocol, in 2007, with the Ministry of Education for the prevention of sexual crimes against minors committed in the context of new information technologies and telecommunications. 91. Portugal noted that there had been an extremely positive development in reducing child labour. The number of children performing illegal work was merely residual. This result was mainly due to the work carried out by the plan for the elimination of exploitation of child labour since 2002. 92. Portugal noted the new legal framework introduced in 2004 to achieve inclusive schooling guaranteeing the quality education and principal values and fundamental tools to ensure equal opportunities for all. The Ministry of Education had put in place an action plan to help support non-native students enrolled in Portuguese schools aiming at their full integration into the education system. “Choices Programme” is a governmental programme managed and coordinated by the High Commission for Immigration and Intercultural Dialogue which targeted children and young people between the ages of 6 and 24 from disadvantaged social background, many of which are immigrant descents and members of ethnic minorities, notably the Roma community in order to promote their social integration. 93.
