The UN also plans educational programmes, concentrating on vocational schools to help in the children&#8217;s reintegration.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Coomaraswamy said that more than 1,000 children had been let go by Chadian military units since January, in what her office called a move &#8220;representative for the increased commitment of the Chadian Government to protect children in armed conflict.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At the signature ceremony Ms. Coomaraswamy welcomed the move but added: &#8220;While this is an achievement in itself, the bulk of the work lies ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The complete withdrawal and reintegration of children into their communities will trigger the removal of the Chadian Government from the Secretary-General&#8217;s &#8216;list of shame,&#8217; of governments using child soldiers.
