Privatization and the right to education 2014, para. 103

Paragraph
Paragraph text
States remain primarily responsible for providing education on account of their international legal obligations. They should not abandon their primary responsibility, above all for the provision of free and quality basic education, to the advantage of private providers, who find the inadequacies of public education fertile ground for making money from the provision of education, reaping uncontrolled profits. When privatization is permitted, States should fully assume their responsibility in compliance with their obligations under human rights law and ensure that private providers abide by the principles and norms underlying the right to education.
