The right to inclusive education 2016, para. 40c

Paragraph
Paragraph text
[Progressive realization does not prejudice those obligations that are immediately applicable. Drawing from CESCR's General Comment, States parties have "a minimum core obligation to ensure the satisfaction of, at the very least, minimum essential levels" of each of the features of the right to education. Therefore States parties should implement the following core rights with immediate effect:] Compulsory, free primary education available to all. States parties must take all appropriate measures to guarantee this right, on the basis of inclusion, to all children and youth with disabilities. The Committee urges States parties to "ensure access to and completion of quality education for all children and youth to at least 12 years of free, publicly funded, inclusive and equitable quality primary and secondary education, of which at least nine years are compulsory, as well as access to quality education for out-of- school children and youth through a range of modalities" as per the Education 2030 Framework for Action.
