Right to Education Project Launches New Website

The Right to Education Project aims to promote social mobilization and legal accountability, looking to focus on the legal challenges to the right to education. The cornerstones of the Project are their wide-reaching website, ongoing research and a wide network of human rights and education activists. It is a partial continuation of the groundbreaking older Right to Education Project of the former UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education, Katarina Tomaševski.  Housed by ActionAid International, and in partnership with the Global Campaign for Education and Amnesty International, the Right to Education Project is supported by the Open Society Institute and others.

Through the website, the Right to Education Project seeks to reach a wide and diverse audience, with multiple goals and needs.  These include: introducing the right to education, identifying and addressing violations, looking at excluded groups, looking at education financing, social mobilization, information on legal routes, and information from local, national, and international levels.  The Project is proud of its country database, a unique resource documenting the constitutional protection of the right to education (or the lack thereof) in all 192 countries.
