Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Regional human rights treaties also include provisions on the right to education. In Europe, the First Protocol (1952) to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms states that “no person shall be denied the right to education”. The Revised European Social Charter (1996) has provisions for free primary and secondary education. The Charter of the Organization of American States (1948) provides numerous rights related to education. The Additional Protocol to the American Convention on Human Rights in the area of Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (San Salvador Protocol, 1999) defines the right to education in detail in articles 13 and 16. Finally, the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (1981) provides that every individual shall have the right to education, and the African Charter on Rights and Welfare of the Child provides in article 11 that every child should have the right to education.
