Assessment of the educational attainment of students 2014, para. 85
- 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".

Issues and challenges to the right to education in the digital age 2016, para. 122
- Paragraph text
- Public authorities should ensure that the use of digital technologies is considered as a means of education, not as a substitute for face- to-face education. They should recognize that human contact in education is essential to the teaching and learning process. Public authorities should also take the measures necessary to build the capacity of teachers to use digital technologies while retaining freedom in their pedagogic approaches. Teachers must have the competence and be free to adapt digital technologies to local contexts, and the authority to rearrange online teaching materials and methodologies to best serve the country's education requirements.

Report on the Post-2015 Education Agenda 2013, para. 108
- Paragraph text
- In contrast to the Millennium Development Goals, the post-2015 development agenda should create an overarching framework of education which is all-inclusive. A global, rights-based approach should address the entire continuum of education and learning, from early childhood to lifelong learning. It should emphasize State obligations and compliance with norms and standards for the right to education for all for both public and private schools.

Justiciability of the right to education 2013, para. 81
- Paragraph text
- International, regional and national jurisprudence has demonstrated that the right to education is a legally enforceable right. In case of its violation, it can be protected and enforced through adjudicative mechanisms. These are invaluable for allowing citizens to address violations of their rights in a fair and impartial manner. Its justiciability should be publicly acknowledged, and reaffirmed by governments in the constitution and domestic legislation.

Report on the Post-2015 Education Agenda 2013, para. 122
- Paragraph text
- National legislation establishing the right to basic education has been developed in many countries as part of the Education for All process. Governments must be encouraged to carry that process further so that education laws are modernized to address education quality, financing, the provision of technical and vocational education and training, the regulation of private providers of education and lifelong learning.

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.

- The principle of social justice, which is at the core of the global mission of the United Nations to promote development and human dignity, also underpins human rights. 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.

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. Resources for technical and vocational education and training should also be utilized optimally.

Justiciability of the right to education 2013, para. 82m
- 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:] Knowledge regarding the means by which violations of the right to education can be adjudicated is often possessed least by those who need it most. 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.

- 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:] 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.

Justiciability of the right to education 2013, para. 82k
- 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:] The United Nations Declaration on the Rule of Law, adopted by the General Assembly on 24 September 2012, emphasized that States should “promote access to justice for all, including legal aid”. 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.

Justiciability of the right to education 2013, para. 82e
- 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.

Justiciability of the right to education 2013, para. 83
- Paragraph text
- 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.

Novel modalities of teacher training in tandem with reforms in education should be devised to foster quality education and learning.

They must respond to the challenges of restoring public trust in public education systems as regards their capacity to provide quality education. Governments should recognize that the highest-quality education, for the lowest cost, universally available for all, will always come from an effective public system. Public-private partnerships may provide stopgap measures, as States work to progressively realize education systems that fully meet all aspects of the right to education.
