Education
States have an obligation to realise the right to education for all by providing free, inclusive, quality, public education.
We call on governments and intergovernmental institutions to focus on building strong and free public education systems with a focus on human rights, instead of diverting funds to a private sector that frequently privileges profit.
The Abidjan Principles clarify the States' obligation to regulate private actors.
