Paragraph
Paragraph text
Promoting for-profit education, the International Finance Corporation considers laws as financial hurdles and provides guidance to private providers of education to be "very profitable and flourishing enterprises". This is blatantly disrespectful of the human rights obligations of international bodies, including the World Bank, as described in general comment No. 13 (1999) on the right to education of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
