Is discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity prohibited in education?

No prohibition means that legislation does not explicitly prohibit sexual orientation or gender identity based discrimination broadly, specifically in admissions or access to education, or in an education setting. This does not mean that legislation denies this guarantee.

Gender discrimination prohibited, but not specifically sexual orientation or gender identity means that country legislation does explicitly prohibit at gender discrimination in education, but does not address sexual orientation or gender identity. In some countries, these provisions have been interpreted to cover sexual orientation or gender identity through case law or regulations.

Broadly prohibited, not specific to education means that national constitutions prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, but not in legislation related to education.

Sexual orientation or gender identity, but not both means that only discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is prohibited in education.

Both sexual orientation and gender identity means that legislation explicitly prohibits discrimination based on SOGI in education.
