Education in Lesotho

Education in Lesotho has undergone reforms in recent years, [when?] meaning that primary education is now free, universal, and compulsory. [citation needed]

The Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI)[1] finds that Lesotho is fulfilling only 72.5% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to education based on the country's level of income.[2] HRMI breaks down the right to education by looking at the rights to both primary education and secondary education. While taking into consideration Lesotho's income level, the nation is achieving 92.1% of what should be possible based on its resources (income) for primary education but only 52.8% for secondary education.[3]
