1. Context
and Background
Three years
before the EFA deadline, and seven years after implementation of
the African Union Second Decade Plan of Action, UNESCO GMR 2011
reports that around 30 million children remain out of school in
Africa. The majority are women, girls and vulnerable groups such
as people with disabilities. In essence, the right to education
is a right that is not being fully realized by many.
Wits University
in collaboration with OSISA are offering a short course to provide
capacity building on the Right to Basic Education and the related
policy and financial issues. The course focuses on:
- Education
Rights: Overview of education - covering education as a right,
international, regional and national instruments guaranteeing
this right;
- Education
and Equality: Overview of how excluded and disadvantaged populations
can be reached.
- Planning
and Financing the Right to Education: Education rights and planning
- covering diagnosis of challenges, policy formulation, operationalisation,
monitoring and evaluation
