Non-discrimination & égalité

In this report, the Special Rapporteur shows that non-formal education programmes provide flexible, learner-centred means to improve education outcomes. This is particularly relevant for girls and groups in vulnerable situations, including children with disabilities, minorities and rural and impoverished children, who are disproportionately represented among out-ofschool populations. When designed to be available, accessible, acceptable and adaptable, such programmes enable States to fulfil the right to education of learners who are excluded from the formal system.

En este informe, el Relator Especial examina las alianzas público-privadas relativas a la educación, que están ligadas indisolublemente al rápido avance de la privatización. Pone de relieve sus repercusiones en el derecho a la educación y los principios de justicia social y equidad.

Este infomrme refiere a la promoción de la igualdad de oportunidades en la educación. También incluye una descripción general de otras preocupaciones que el Relator Especial se propone estudiar a lo largo de su mandato.  Los Estados tienen el deber de adoptar medidas para eliminar la discriminación y garantizar a todos la igualdad de acceso a la educación.

Ce rapport met l'accent sur la promotion de l'égalité des chances dans l'éducation. Il donne également un aperçu des autres préoccupations que le Rapporteur spécial envisage d'étudier durant son mandat. Le rapport détaille, en premier lieu, les dispositions des principales normes relatives aux droits de l'homme qui affirment l'obligation de promouvoir l'égalité des chances dans l'éducation. Il décrit ensuite les différentes sources des inégalités et les différents types d'initiatives entreprises pour y remédier.

This report examines public-private partnerships in education, which are inextricably linked to rapidly expanding privatization. The Special Rapporteur highlights their implications for the right to education and for the principles of social justice and equity.

This report shows how a student’s place of origin within France, that is, the region in which they live prior to the beginning of their studies, coupled with their socio-economic background can mean that the cost of education, which is heavily influenced by the structure of the French higher education system, poses a significant barrier to their enjoyment of the right to higher education. 

Education is a fundamental human right of every woman, man and child. In states’ efforts to meet their commitments to making the right to education a reality for all, most have made impressive progress in recent decades. With new laws and policies that remove fees in basic education, significant progress has been made in advancing free education. This has led to tens of millions of children enrolling for the first time and the number of out of school children and adolescents falling by almost half since 2000.
