In that regard, States parties should (articles 3, 5, 10 and 14):] Promote community awareness-raising concerning the costs and benefits of all forms of migration for women and conduct cross-cultural awareness- raising activities addressed to the general public, which should highlight the risks, dangers and opportunities of migration, the entitlement of women to their earnings in the interest of ensuring their financial security and the need to maintain a balance between women's familial responsibility and their responsibility to themselves. Such an awareness-raising progarmme could be carried out through formal and informal educational programmes;

Devoid of equitable approaches, technical and vocational education and training can accentuate prevailing inequities and deprivation to the detriment of the right to education for all. Promoting equity and inclusion through positive measures should be a key factor in the provision of technical and vocational education and training.

The right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers 2010, para. 82
- Paragraph text
- [Regarding the legal and normative framework, the Special Rapporteur is of the view that:] • As the International Conference on Population and Development (1994) identified migration as a consequence of significant global economic transformations, the Special Rapporteur is particularly concerned by the fact that half of the world’s out-of-school children — 39 million — live in conflict-affected areas. Moreover, as 80 per cent of all refugees are hosted by countries of the developing world, which figure shows that a disproportionate burden is carried by those least able to afford it, increased international cooperation and sharing of responsibility is required, as called for in the International Covenant of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Dakar Framework for Action adopted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2000. As underdevelopment is a “principal root cause” of migration, helping Governments to realize the right to development becomes imperative.

The right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers 2010, para. 73
- Paragraph text
- However, the Special Rapporteur is convinced that the human right to education for migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers should not be contentious. Nevertheless, this right is sometimes disputed. The dispute centres upon the nature of the right itself. Despite being an “enabling right”, the right to education has become a de facto derivative right; just as, for instance, the right to development, economic security and the right to life per se are subordinated to the primary rights of private property and the profit rate. This situation highlights the two conflicting (and irreconcilable) legal regimes for education: on the one hand, international human rights law defines education as a human right, while on the other hand, international trade law views education as a service, i.e. a commodity. The latter regime offers little scope for advancing mechanisms for realizing the objectives of a human rights responsive education system.

The right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers 2010, para. 72
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur reminds States that their education systems should conform to the obligations set forth in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the objectives of the Education for All programme. Critically, these systems must also be able to respect and promote diversity on the basis of a global understanding of human needs. Similarly, the Special Rapporteur acknowledges that human rights law “does not sufficiently address the question of binding obligations of States to take positive measures” and “it is largely unclear which distinctions between migrants and the citizens are admissible and which are not”.
