Privatization and the right to education 2014, para. 100
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur considers that, driven by business interests, privatization by definition is detrimental to education as a public good and vitiates the humanistic mission of education. Abusive practices by private providers reflect the failure of States to adequately monitor and regulate privatized education. This calls for the strengthening of human rights mechanisms in order to effectively address and sanction violations of the right to education by private providers. In this, Governments can be inspired by numerous court decisions and emerging jurisprudence.
