ICPE-03-1934_RES1-FR
2) Recognizes that in countries where the number of schools does not yet correspond to the school-age population, the issue is not so much extending schooling as ensuring that every child has the opportunity to attend school for a minimum specified number of years.

ICPE-03-1934_RES1-FR
3) While acknowledging that the number of compulsory school years may vary between countries, considers it desirable that the number of actual years of schooling should in no case be less than seven, and notes that this minimum is already exceeded in many countries.
