On the right to education, Jamaica is doing 70.0% of what should be possible at its level of income (measured against the income adjusted benchmark).

How is this human right defined?

According to international law, everyone has the right to a quality, relevant, and culturally appropriate education. We are all entitled to a primary, secondary, higher, technical/vocational, and fundamental education that is physically accessible and financially affordable (ICESCR Article 13 and CESCR General Comments 11 and 13).
