Privatization and the right to education 2014, para. 67
- Paragraph text
- Privatizing education aggravates growing disparities in access to education, further marginalizing the poor. Available experience shows that the voucher system to help children from poor households to gain access to fee-charging private schools has failed in quality education and the Special Rapporteur would like to support the proposition in the OXFAM briefing paper entitled "Working for the Many: Public Services Fight Inequality" that it be discontinued. Similarly, user fees in education are counterproductive, since they take money out of the pockets of ordinary working families, bankrupting them when they need help the most and preventing them from sending their children to school.

Paragraphe
Normative action for quality education 2012, para. 65
- Paragraph text
- The working conditions of teachers remain generally poor, with limited incentives and career development perspectives. On account of very low salaries, teachers often seek to raise extra income by offering private tuition (exerting pressure on students or parents) and/or by doing side jobs. The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights noted this common concern. UNICEF similarly recognizes the importance of enhancing teacher capacity, morale, commitment, status and income so as to ensure a rights-based, child-friendly school environment that promotes effective learning. As previously mentioned, the UNESCO-ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers (1966) provides the most comprehensive guidance to secure adequate working conditions for teachers. Adequate salaries are essential to ensuring that the teaching profession becomes more attractive. Better emoluments can increase teachers’ readiness to accept deployment in rural and remote areas. National laws can contribute to improving salary scales. In Ecuador, for instance, teachers’ salaries were doubled after the adoption the Law on Intercultural Education (2008).
