The right to education (Art. 13) 1999, para. 15
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Technical and vocational education (TVE) forms part of both the right to education and the right to work (art. 6 (2)). Article 13 (2) (b) presents TVE as part of secondary education, reflecting the particular importance of TVE at this level of education. Article 6 (2), however, does not refer to TVE in relation to a specific level of education; it comprehends that TVE has a wider role, helping "to achieve steady economic, social and cultural development and full and productive employment". Also, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that [t]echnical and professional education shall be made generally available (art. 26 (1)). Accordingly, the Committee takes the view that TVE forms an integral element of all levels of education.
