Promote social mobilisation
©Barry Lewis/ Corbis/ ActionAid
Promoting social mobilisation on the right to education is, in one sense, about avoiding litigation, but instead using the law and the language of the law to activate people; to get them to work with governments as well as stepping up the pressure on governments, holding them account for the right to education, as described in laws and policies, as well as in the international and regional treaties which the same government has signed.
It is important to find out where your energy is best spent, either at the local community level, at the national level, or at the regional or international level. Or indeed a combination of the all, exhausting the different remedies and instruments available. For taking things to the international level, at the UN of the diferent regional committees, it is important to know these often highly specialised mechanisms.
