Privatization and the right to education 2014, para. 98
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Education is a fundamental human right and a core obligation of States. The principal responsibility for the direct provision of education lies with Governments. However, there has been tremendous growth in private providers of education. Taking advantage of explosive demands on education and of insufficient public schools, privatization is making inroads in education at all levels. It often flourishes, with scant control by public authorities. This can have a crippling effect on the fundamental principle of equality of opportunity in education. Privatization often excludes marginalized groups, who are unable to pay, undermining the right of universal access to education. Some private providers inadequately respect the quality of education and undermine the status of teachers.
