All this can make it justifiable to put education on the high agenda.

Is the sentence above lexically correct?

I often see the expression 'high on the agenda', so I have a little doubt about 'put...on the high agenda".

  

Top answer

"on the high agenda" is not right: there is no such thing as a "high agenda". As you say, it should be "high on the agenda". There are actually more Google hits for "on the high agenda" than I would have expected.
