WORLD Education Laws 2019

The WORLD Policy Analysis Center (WORLD) is committed to improving the quantity and quality of globally comparative data available to policymakers, citizens, civil society, and researchers on laws and policies that work to support human rights, including economic opportunity, social and civic engagement, human health, development, well-being, and equity. The WORLD Education Laws 2019 dataset was created to assess progress on constitutional rights, laws, and policies affecting access to education through a systematic review of legislation governing education across all 193 UN countries as of September 2019. The dataset covers tuition-free and compulsory education from primary through the completion of secondary, prohibitions of gender discrimination and sexual harassment in education, and prohibitions of disability-based discrimination and guarantees of integration in education.
