Anti-LGBTQI Measures

The Andorran Constitution (1993) [37] states that all persons have the right to education, whichshall be orientated towards the dignity and full development of the human personality, thusstrengthening the respect for freedom and fundamental rights (art. 20). It also states that no onemay be discriminated against on grounds of birth, race, sex, origin, religion, opinions or any otherpersonal or social condition, but it does not mention sexual orientation, gender identity and expression or variations in sex characteristics as protected grounds.

The Law on qualified education (1993, art. 4) [38] establishes that one of the main goals of education is to train children and young people in respect for diversity and fundamental human rights,and in the exercise of tolerance and freedom, within the democratic principles of coexistence andpluralism. This law does not specifically mention LGBTQI learners, but civil society organisationsreport that they are still protected by this law. Likewise, the Law on the Regulation of the GeneralEducational System (1994) [39] shares the same principle and states that everyone has the right tobe offered the full development of their personality (physical, intellectual and moral). The Secondary Education Management Act (2007) [40] specifies that students should learn the principles anddemocratic values of society including respecting diversity.

To enable a meaningful comparison of country progress over time, we have retroactively aligned the scoring systems used in the 2018 and 2022 Editions of IGLYO’s LGBTQI Inclusive Education Index with the updated 2025 scoring criteria.
While each edition of the research has built on the previous one, reflecting evolving standards and priorities in inclusive education, minor changes to indicators and scoring weights were introduced in 2022 and 2025 to improve clarity, consistency, and comprehensiveness.
By recalculating the earlier scores according to the 2025 framework, we have tried to ensure comparability across all three editions and provide a more accurate picture of progress, stagnation, or regression in each country’s approach to LGBTQI-inclusive education.
For this reason, you might find some scores in the PDF Report & Index 2018 and 2022 differing from those on the Education website for these two years.
