Privatization and the right to education 2014, para. 93
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Existing jurisprudence enables us to better understand obligations that the right to education imposes upon private providers. For example, the Constitutional Court of Colombia ruled in 1997 that excluding pupils from schools on an economic basis only violates their enjoyment of the right to education. The Court also ruled that because of the fundamental character of the right to education, private schools are bound by specific obligations.
