Sexual education 2010, para. 76
- Paragraph text
- [On the basis of the foregoing remarks, the Special Rapporteur considers that:] States must ensure that they respect, protect and implement the human right to comprehensive sexual education, by acting with due diligence and taking all measures necessary to ensure its effective enjoyment, without discrimination, from the early stages of life. The absence of planned, democratic and pluralist sexual education constitutes, in practice, a model of sexual education (by omission) which has particularly negative consequences for people's lives and which uncritically reproduces patriarchal practices, ideas, values and attitudes that are a source of many forms of discrimination.

The right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers 2010, para. 75
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur recalls that adaptability and acceptability are a fundamental component of the human right to education. For this reason, it is essential that all States advance the implementation of intercultural and inclusive education models that make possible the establishment of pedagogical practices which encourage respect for diversity. It is also crucial that learners understand, validate and respect diversity in culture and, in this way, form the basis for substantive change in the struggle against discrimination.

Financing education and update on education in emergencies 2011, para. 51
- Paragraph text
- [In that spirit, the Special Rapporteur provides the following recommendations:] A national law whereby at least a minimum level of investment is indispensably assured for quality education is highly necessary. Following up on the recommendations made consistently by the High-level Group on Education for All, the establishment of an internationally accepted norm, whereby a certain minimum percentage of GNP (4-6 per cent) or of the national budget (15-20 per cent) is allocated to education may be valuable in providing the basis for developing a national legal and policy framework.

Financing education and update on education in emergencies 2011, para. 93
- Paragraph text
- As discussed in the previous report on education in emergency situations (A/HRC/8/10), severely limited access to education continues to be a reality for most of the communities affected by emergencies. Despite increased attention by the international community, crucial problems persist: funding for humanitarian activities continues to ignore requirements to ensure education; schools continue to be victimized by direct and indirect violence; and preventive efforts are still timid vis-à-vis an increased impact of natural disasters. To reverse the current trend, States and other entities providing and channelling humanitarian and transitional assistance must pay enhanced attention to education in emergencies. Providing education and ensuring that education is protected during periods of emergency is not a choice, but an obligation.

The intellectual community and the civil society play a central role in promoting better understanding of inequalities in education. The advocacy work of these stakeholders is vital to ensuring widespread attention to issues for ensuring equality of opportunity in education.

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) 2012, para. 81
- Paragraph text
- In this context, industry and the private sector are emerging as an important stakeholder in the provision of technical and vocational education and training. It is, however, clear that, from a right to education perspective, key responsibility devolves upon States. They remain not only providers of such education and training but also have a promotional as well as protective and facilitating role. Their responsibility is crucial for devising a comprehensive and high-quality technical and vocational education and training system that is respectful of human rights, in particular, the right to education.

Social justice and equity are of perennial importance in terms of foundations not only of EFA but also of technical and vocational education and training-based approaches to poverty reduction strategies and the role of technical and vocational education and training in the context of the Millennium Development Goals. They are invaluable for bridging the widening gap between rich and poor and harnessing technical and vocational education and training for the common well-being.

International bodies such as UNESCO, ILO, UNICEF and the World Bank should be encouraged to continue their work in providing policy advice and support services. Along with development partners, they should provide technical assistance to governments in their efforts to develop technical and vocational education and training systems.

In order to maximize resources available for technical and vocational education and training from diversified sources, States should devise mechanisms with necessary incentives for investments by industry, enterprises, and regional and local bodies.

Technical and vocational education and training should not only cater to the possible technical requirements of occupational sectors but also develop social skills and critical thinking, and it should be consistent with the right to education, laid down by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and by the United Nations human rights treaties, as highlighted in the present report.

Based on the findings of national-level assessments of students’ performance, States should support those regions and schools which perform poorly and are falling behind, in an endeavor to promote more equitable education systems. Affirmative action and positive measures should be stepped up to enable all those who are victims of social exclusion and poverty to enjoy their right to quality education;

Report on the Post-2015 Education Agenda 2013, para. 119
- Paragraph text
- The central role of education in accelerating progress towards all Millennium Development Goals is recognized in the context of the High-level Plenary Meeting of the General Assembly on the Millennium Development Goals, held in 2010. It deserves continued and enhanced attention, since all development goals are underpinned by educational dimensions. The right to education, with its pivotal role in development, should be embedded in all such goals. The post-2015 development agenda must build upon the Global Initiative on Education of the Secretary-General, Education First, which sets out a vision to make education a top priority of the global political agenda. High priority should be given to education in national development and the right to education as an integral part of development planning and the implementation of policies and programmes. The right to education deserves strategic consideration in public policies and in global partnerships.

- The rights-holders should have the ability to challenge Governments to meet their international obligations when they are not being respected and fulfilled. Access to justice is of foremost importance for getting the rights enforced. The right to education is a justiciable right, and that should be recognized in the future agenda. Governments should, therefore, work towards making their commitments justiciable in their national legal systems, recognizing that they are all founded in international law.

- [Bearing in mind the key importance of the justiciability of the right to education and its enforcement, and with a view to fostering protective as well as promotional role of adjudication mechanisms, the Special Rapporteur would like to offer the following recommendations:] States must fully assume their obligation to respect, protect and fulfil the right to education. Their first obligation in this regard is to give effect to the right in their domestic legal order, and ensure its effective enforcement in case of violation through national, regional and international judicial and quasi-judicial mechanisms. Individuals as beneficiaries of the right to education, as defined in national legislation and as contained in international law, must be able to have legal recourse against its violations.

To facilitate this, individuals or groups who have been denied the right to education and cannot afford to bring litigation should have access to free legal aid to support their claims. While reducing fees for all rights-based claims in courts to a minimum, States should ensure that applications before quasi-judicial mechanisms are free for complainants. Protection of the right to education of the poor should be central to poverty reduction strategies.

- Paragraph text
- [Bearing in mind the key importance of the justiciability of the right to education and its enforcement, and with a view to fostering protective as well as promotional role of adjudication mechanisms, the Special Rapporteur would like to offer the following recommendations:] A precondition for effective monitoring and review is a legal system that respects the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary as well as national human rights institutions and other quasi-judicial mechanisms. The purpose of adjudicating alleged violations of the right to education is to have a credible, independent body monitoring the legal compliance of State actors in the field of education. When such mechanisms are perceived to be under undue government or private influence, their value is negated, as their judgments may not be respected by the public. By ensuring independence, there will be greater public confidence in their findings, and citizens will have more respect for the laws and actions of governments which pass scrutiny. As such, the independence of adjudicative mechanisms should be guaranteed.

- The application of the above recommendations is aimed at strengthening the laws, institutions and procedures surrounding the justiciability of the right to education. However, it must be recognized that all such measures are for naught if the State refuses to implement the findings and recommendations of courts or quasi-judicial mechanisms. A nation’s development flows from the initial investment not just in a comprehensive education system, but also in the mechanisms and procedures necessary to monitor and safeguard the right to education which is not only a human right in itself but also essential for the exercise of all other human rights.

Disadvantaged and marginalized groups in society lack resources to engage legal assistance, and are often unaware of quasi-legal mechanisms, such as the individual complaint procedure of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

But it also involves claims for remedies against private providers of education, and schools managed by the private sector, as case law in several countries shows. Private providers of education are more resourceful in seeking defence of their position. In litigation against them, governments should intervene as appropriate to defend the right to education and social interest in education, so that education is preserved as a public good and not allowed to become a mere commercial venture.

Privatization and the right to education 2014, para. 112
- Paragraph text
- Learning from the devastating impact of structural adjustments on education as an essential public service and in the face of the prevalent market ideology and privatization in education, countries must recognize the paramount importance of public investment in education as an essential obligation of the State and as a foundation for development. Instead of giving subsidies to private providers, Governments should provide the maximum possible resources to public education, with equity-driven initiatives to expand educational opportunities for the marginalized and the poor. A paradigm shift is required so that instead of providing financial support to private providers, States must regulate them. Under no circumstances should a State provide financial support to a private provider of education.

Privatization and the right to education 2014, para. 98
- 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.

- Education is a core public service function of the State. It is also a social responsibility, and when States encourage the private sector to be a partner in education development, it should ensure full respect for the public interest. Education is a public good. As a noble cause, it can generate social support and induce public contributions in a philanthropic spirit, if properly encouraged by policies of good governance in the education system. All those valuing education as a public good and a noble cause should be encouraged to contribute to the development of education in innovative ways, such as establishing a special trust fund for the purpose of maximizing national investment in education.

No private higher education institution should be allowed to operate without prior approval and recognition by competent public authorities.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur would like to state that the realization of the right to basic education of quality for all, including skills development, deserves a central place in the post-2015 development agenda. From that perspective, national assessments of the educational attainments of students would need to evolve with a future-oriented perspective, in order to meet the key challenges of achieving such universal goals for education as may be agreed to in future development agendas. Education systems, including national assessments, will need to be kept abreast of such developments, bearing in mind the resolve of the international community in reaffirming its commitments to the right to education and to "full access to quality education at all levels" as an "essential condition for achieving sustainable development".
