Paragraph
Sexual education 2010, para. 8
- Paragraph text
- Patriarchalism is therefore a system which causes and perpetuates serious and systematic human rights violations, such as violence and discrimination against women. Education is the main fundamental tool for combating patriarchalism and generating the cultural shift so necessary for equality among individuals. When it is not properly organized, the education system has the opposite result, perpetuating injustice and discrimination.

Protecting education against commercialization 2015, para. 105
- Paragraph text
- The repercussions of privatization in education and the need for regulation is being increasingly recognized by the United Nations treaty bodies, notably the Committee on the Rights of the Child, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women and the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Thus, in its concluding observations with respect to Morocco (CRC/C/MAR/CO/3-4), the Committee on the Rights of the Child expressed concern with the rapid expansion of private education, especially at the primary level, without the necessary supervision, leading to the reinforcement of inequalities in the enjoyment of the right to education. The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights has also sought information from Morocco about the development of private education and on the impact of privatization on education system (see E/C.12/MAR/Q/4).

Financing education and update on education in emergencies 2011, para. 52
- Paragraph text
- [In that spirit, the Special Rapporteur provides the following recommendations:] It is of crucial importance for countries to devise new approaches to resource allocation and its utilization. To enhance investment in education as a national priority, budget lines for education can be provided for in various ministries concerned with social development (ministries of social welfare, child and women's development, labour, health, etc.). At the same time, broadening the tax base is important for creating more budgetary resources.
