Compulsory primary education

In March 2023, the CJI adopted a report on "Compulsory primary education", document CJI/doc. 690/23 rev. 1, which urges OAS member states to ensure full enjoyment of primary education and strengthen the free, compulsory, and universal nature of this "fundamental human right." The CJI resolution adopting the report also recommends seeking alternatives to provide technical and financial assistance to those States encountering problems with its implementation, resolution CJI/RES. 279 (CII-O/23).

In addressing this topic, the Inter-American Juridical Committee has examined the following background matter over the years:

  • 2023
