3. 3 pillars to face education challenges
1.Increased financing – domestic financing
2.Improved accountability where necessary
3.Public institutions’ building
5. Lessons learned
Positive
Inexpensive
Can improve learning outcomes and other measures of quality
Increase fnancial transparency and accountability and reduce corruption
Limitations
Sustainability
Risk of elite capture (socio-economic, ethic, gender…), effect for the poorest
Need structural capacities
But… measuring the right effect?
6. Human rights law matters
International Covenant on Economic,
Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR)
International Convention on the
Rights of the Child (CRC)
196 States parties164 States parties
7. Rights-driven approach to
accountability
Relationship between rights-holders and duty bearers
Holding the State accountable, not only schools but also macro level
Building trust and mechanisms not suspicion
Assessing against human rights obligations, defined by the law, not particular views – in the
context of the respect of all human rights obligations (including non-discrimination and
equality), reinforcing the rule of law
States report, explain and justify how they are fulfilling their obligations
Corrective/Retrospect: Take action, redress mechanisms
Preventive/Prospect: empowerment of people, groups and institutions through a strengthening of
citizen’s participation in the different stages of policy-making: design, implementation and evaluation.
Purpose: build trust in order to facilitate the realisation of the right to education/fairness

Hinweis der Redaktion
Exploring avenues, based on preliminary research
Market-based not a solution:
Creates inequalities – long term study, Chile, PPPs – perverse incentives
Undermines the rule of law, destroy exactly what wants to be built
Inherent issues
Address the issue holistically
Set dignity principles
Consensus of States
Only existing broadly agreed norms
Details of these conventions matters; each word discussed carefully and result of long negotiations amongst States
We can discuss implementation, but normatively and in terms of support, no contestation
