Education in Montenegro is regulated by the Ministry of Education and Science of Government of Montenegro.
Education starts in either pre-schools or elementary schools. Children enroll in elementary schools (Montenegrin: Osnovna škola) at the age of 6 and elementary education lasts for nine years.
The Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI)[1] finds that Montenegro is fulfilling only 89.4% 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 Montenegro's income level, the nation is achieving 89.3% of what should be possible based on its resources (income) for primary education and 89.4% for secondary education.[3]
