Teenage pregnancy is a complex social issue often caused by human rights violations such as gender-based violence against girls, child marriage, lack of access to sexual and reproductive health services, and lack of access to education.

This indicator examines if the State has sufficient number of public schools, including ECCE centres, to accommodate the needs of children in both rural and urban areas having access to public education.

In some countries, the key dimensions of the right to education may not be explicitly enumerated in legal provisions, but they can be addressed through policies that are not legally binding.  These policies could have been revised and adopted at different periods depending on the changing context.
