Normative action for quality education 2012, para. 70
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The EFA Global Monitoring Report 2005 notes that many approaches in the economic tradition have assumed that there is a workable analogy between schools and factories, in the sense that a set of inputs to schooling is transformed by teachers and pupils into a set of outputs in a fairly uniform way. However, attempts to assess the extent to which changing the mix of inputs affects the outputs, so as to identify the most cost-effective policy levers for quality improvement, have often proved inconclusive. Human rights cannot be subjected to a cost-benefit analysis. Provision of the right to quality basic education, free of cost for all, is a core obligation of States and should not be compromised at any cost.
