ANNEX I. >> M  etadata sheets on selected indicators constitutional protection may lead one to believe that there is no recognition of the right when this may not be the case. For example, in some countries few rights are written into the constitution or superior laws and it is left to the judiciary to interpret the rights as being implied. In this instance, a mere reading of provisions may yield an inaccurate conclusion on the enforcement and coverage of the right concerned. A correct reading, in such cases, requires a detailed analysis of relevant jurisprudence/case law or administrative decisions. Examples of provisions relevant to the right to education and this indicator: Universal Declaration of Human Rights, art. 26; International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, arts. 13 and 14; International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, art. 5 (e) (v); International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, arts. 30 and 43 (1) (a)–(c); Convention on the Rights of the Child, arts. 23, 28 and 29; Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, arts. 10 and 14 (2) (d); and Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, art. 24. Indicator 4 Time frame and coverage of the plan of action adopted by State party to implement the principle of compulsory primary education free of charge for all [e.g., table on the right to education] Definition  The indicator refers to the time frame the State has set out in its plan of action for the implementation of universal, free and compulsory primary education. The indicator will also capture the spatial or the population coverage of the plan of action, such as in countries where there is a division of responsibilities between the national Government and the subnational governments. Rationale  A plan of action aimed at securing the implementation of the right to compulsory primary education, free of charge, is required from all State parties to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (art. 14). Article 14 further provides that this plan of action must include a time frame, specified as a reasonable number of years, within which compulsory primary education free of charge for all will be implemented. The plan of action sets out how the State intends to secure and realize compulsory primary education free of charge for all. Providing data on the time frame set out in this plan of action provides a benchmark against which the State can be assessed. It also helps to highlight if the State is setting unrealistic or, on the contrary, lax time frames. The indicator is a structural indicator that captures the “commitment” of a State to implementing its human rights obligations in respect of the “universal primary education” attribute of the right to education. Method of computation  The indicator is computed separately for the implementation time frame and the coverage of the plan of action. The time frame is the number of days/months or years specified in the plan of action as being the period required to implement compulsory primary education free of charge for all. Coverage is computed as a proportion of subnational administrative units or population covered under the national policy statement. Data collection and source  The main source of data is the plan of action which State parties to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights present to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Periodicity  The indicator data can be reviewed and accessed continually. Disaggregation  While disaggregation is not conceptually feasible, the plan of action may focus on specific areas, geographical regions or population groups, in which case it may be desirable to highlight that.
