Wonkhe Analysis · ESU Student Rights Charter · 2026
How well does each country's legal framework protect students against the ESU Student Rights Charter? Scored by mapping national legislation provision-by-provision against the Charter's five sections: social dimension, academic freedom, internationalisation, quality education, and student participation.
| Country | Distribution | Score | Fully met | Partial | Not met | Total |
|---|
Methodology. Score = (fully met × 1 + partially met × 0.5) ÷ total provisions assessed, expressed as a percentage. Provision totals differ between country guides — most assess 39–77 provisions across the Charter's five sections. Countries tagged derived have counts drawn from full provision-by-provision audit narratives rather than explicit summary counts in the guide. Austria's "substantially meets" category is counted as partially met. All data sourced from country-specific higher education legal guides based on the ESU Student Rights Charter, April 2026.
