Privatization and the right to education 2014, para. 112
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Learning from the devastating impact of structural adjustments on education as an essential public service and in the face of the prevalent market ideology and privatization in education, countries must recognize the paramount importance of public investment in education as an essential obligation of the State and as a foundation for development. Instead of giving subsidies to private providers, Governments should provide the maximum possible resources to public education, with equity-driven initiatives to expand educational opportunities for the marginalized and the poor. A paradigm shift is required so that instead of providing financial support to private providers, States must regulate them. Under no circumstances should a State provide financial support to a private provider of education.
