Article 2 of the Covenant provides that each State Party to the Covenant undertakes "to take steps ... to the maximum of its available resources, with a view to achieving progressively the full realization of the rights recognized in the present Covenant by all appropriate means, including particularly the adoption of legislative measures". Although the Committee is assured that the nature of the obligation does not require a higher standard for the progressive realisation of economic, social and cultural rights than the South African Constitution, the Committee recommends that a Declaration be made on ratification of the Covenant relating to Articles 13 and 14 that South Africa will give progressive effect to the right of education within the framework of its legislation and available resources.
