A/70/342 142. The Special Rapporteur calls upon civil society organizations and the intellectual community, as well as students, parents and community associations, to expose the negative effects of public-private partnerships in education. He encourages them to voice their concerns more strongly and widely, as an essential function of the social compact for education, in an endeavour to forge a global movement against the negative impact and abusive practices of privatization and public-private partnerships in education, reducing it to a business. Their advocacy work for fostering social justice and equity is valuable to counter market-based approaches in education. Research, events and expert consultations on the effects of public-private partnerships in education and on the exercise and enjoyment of the right to education should be encouraged and supported. 15-12538 25/25
