INSTITUTION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OMBUDSMAN OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA request and received a negative answer after which she filed an appeal against the said answer. Ombudspersons issued a recommendation 219 to the Federal Ministry of Health, the Health Insurance and Reinsurance Institute of the Federation on Bosnia and Herzegovina and furnished a copy to the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina for information. The Health Insurance and Reinsurance Institute of the Federation on Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the Federal Ministry of Health replied to the Ombudsman stating their reasons why the Ombudsman's recommendation cannot be implemented. 6.6. Education The right to education in Bosnia and Herzegovina is governed by the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina 220, the Constitution of Republika Srpska 221 the Constitution of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovin 222 the Statutes of Brčko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina 223, and the relevant legislation governing this area. In the category of education in 2019 the Ombudsman registered 33 cases and issued three recommendations. Complaints in the field of education are related to the failure of the ministries responsible for education to make certain decisions, the inability of continuation of education in the same school, as well as poor material conditions, i.e. inadequate teaching premises. A certain number of cases related to the procedure of conducting competitive procedures at higher education institutions, accreditation of higher education institutions, recognition of diplomas and non-recognition of appropriate titles in scientific and teaching fields within the higher education. Example: 224 The complainant identified the Ključ Primary School as the responsible party. She alleges that she enrolled her minor child in the mentioned school. She states that her minor child has been attending classes at the school for almost four years, but in all school records the child is recorded with a graphite pencil and at the semester and end of the school year she does not receive any evidence that she finished the school year or semester. Ombudspersons requested the statements of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Una-Sana Canton, the Cantonal Administration for Inspection Affairs and the School. In the provided statement, the Ministry claims that it has issued a decision on equivalence thus granting the child the right to continue education in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ombudspersons then asked the School for information on whether it had received a notification from the Ministry. The school submitted the requested information, stating that it received the mentioned decision, and that it acted according to it. The case was successfully completed. 219 P-162/19 dated 08 July 2019 Article II 3. l) 221 Article 38 222 Article 2. (1) m) 223 Article 15. 224 Ž-SA-01-275/19 220 58
