The right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers 2010, para. 25
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur also observes with concern that increasingly, especially since the adoption of the World Declaration on Education for All, goodwill has become a substitute for entitlement. Frequently, the right to education has been replaced by legally non-binding terms such as “access to education”. This coincides with a general shift from a teacher-centred to a learner-centred approach, on one hand, and the redefinition of education, on the other. Here, education, for whose provision the State is primarily responsible, is being redefined as a commodity rather than a societal good, with the learner made responsible for this – portrayed as a consumer with choices. For the Special Rapporteur, this approach to education, particularly in the face of wider global challenges (sustainability, security and equality) is problematic.
