This cluster of articles, relating to education, leisure, and culture, affirm not only the right of every child to learn and play in a safe and stimulating environment, respectful of their own culture and language, but also insist on the importance of respecting the child’s agency and contribution to their own development.Article 28, the right to education, builds on earlier provisions in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and sets out in detail the right to access education. It emphasises that primary education should be both free and compulsory for every child, that secondary education made available to every child, and that higher education should be available according to capacity. Education must be provided on the basis of equality of opportunity at all levels, all forms of school discipline must be administered in a manner consistent with the child’s dignity, be provided with equality, and states must make efforts to address school drop-out.
