Sample text
However, ratifying a Covenant or Convention and promising to honour commitments is one thing, taking concrete measures to implement them is another thing altogether. The reality is that governments and education authorities tend to overstate their achievements and hide their shortcomings. At times, they discriminate against minorities and oppress students, teachers and academics who speak out against human rights abuses. In order to create an international system for the protection and promotion of the right of all to education, it is necessary to define precisely what is meant by the right to education.

Chapter 2 The Right to Education The right to education is, quite simply, the right to a future. 4 billion people are living in extreme poverty. 1 Millions more in every country, rich and poor, are functionally illiterate. The right to education of over 57 million children is being denied: they are not in school, and most have never been inside a classroom. Each year millions of children leave school early, lacking the knowledge and skills they need to participate effectively in modern society.
