V. >> F ramework in Practice - Implementing and Monitoring Rights
>> Interpreting statistical information from a human rights perspective
Figures XVIII and XIX provide two additional
illustrations of the levels of disaggregation and
data analysis that may be considered for school
enrolment in assessing the realization of the right to
education and the right to non-discrimination and
equality. Moreover, unlike the literacy rate (outcome indicator), the indicator on school enrolment
Fig. XVIII
(process indicator) would have the advantage of
capturing the shorter-term impact of policy measures
for improving literacy levels (through higher
enrolment) or implementing the plan of action
for compulsory primary education (structural
indicator).21

10 years. Enrolment statistics are based on administrative records usually maintained by a ministry of education and
disseminated annually.
