Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Equality of opportunity in education permeates most human rights treaties. As mentioned above, article 13 of the International Convention on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights clearly establishes every person’s right to free primary education, and State responsibilities to achieve the progressive realization of this right with respect to secondary education, and for higher education, on the basis of capacity. The Convention further indicates that fundamental education should be provided as far as possible for those who have not received or completed the whole period of their primary education.
