Report on the Post-2015 Education Agenda 2013, para. 130
- Paragraph text
- Accordingly, effective enforcement mechanisms linked to Government accountability should be foreseen in the future agenda. The agenda should contain provisions enabling individuals and groups to claim their right to education as an entitlement in the case of violation or lack of its fulfilment. In this respect, the special role of ombudspersons and national human rights institutions and public human rights defenders should be recognized.

Paragraph
Justiciability of the right to education 2013, para. 82d
- 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:] National human rights institutions, tribunals, commissions and ombudspersons provide a crucial point of first instance for many complaints related to the right to education. As such, governments must make every effort to ensure such institutions fully comply with the Paris Principles, and in particular be made, and be seen to be made, independent from any government authority. They should also be empowered to initiate investigations into violations on their own initiative to allow them to pursue serious allegations raised in the media or elsewhere which are not being brought by the victims themselves. Appointments to courts and quasi-judicial mechanisms should be protected by legislation to protect against arbitrary government interference, or politically motivated dismissals.

Paragraph
Justiciability of the right to education 2013, para. 82c
- 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:] Domestic legislation should define the rights and responsibilities of all stakeholders for the right to education. At a minimum, such legislation should create the legal framework for primary, secondary, tertiary and vocational education systems. It should also create monitoring and reporting mechanisms, providing indicators and statistics necessary for the right to education to be evaluated and enforced. Reference should also be made to the legal recourse mechanisms and procedures, highlighting the administrative and legal mechanisms that will address alleged violations.

Paragraph
The right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers 2010, para. 83
- Paragraph text
- [The Special Rapporteur perceives a crucial need for States, donors, international agencies and civil society to work collaboratively together, as substantial movement and migration across national borders will continue to define our globalized world. Their joint aim should be to build and sustain cohesive and resilient communities able to adapt in response to change. To this end, the Special Rapporteur recommends that exchange of good practice is increased and, at a minimum, all should look to:] • Pay increased attention to quality linguistic and culturally appropriate early childhood, primary, post-primary and tertiary education that is responsive to the developmental needs of a region and the value of regional understanding and tolerance.
