Justiciability of the right to education 2013, para. 72

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Courts can better adjudicate claims based on violations of the right to education if litigants formulate clear demands. Human rights indicators and qualitative and quantitative information about education systems can support claims regarding violations of the right to education. These can be a very powerful tool because they broaden understanding of the level and depth of human rights violations. For claims based on systemic or collective discrimination, indicators can show the inequality among groups, for example, dropout rates between girls and boys, indicating gender discrimination in education.
