Description

This contribution to the global educational debate and policymaking highlights the adverse impacts on children and young people of exclusion from effective formal education. It reviews the emerging commitment to universal education and the difficult history of trying to give it effect since 1950. The author draws on the literature on education, on the development process in general, and on human rights. She develops an approach which shifts the debate from sheer numbers of pupils, funding mechanisms and market forces to a deeper discussion about what the right to education should really comprise, how governments and other institutions actually go about, or fail in, giving effect to it on a universal and non-discriminatory basis, and what happens to young people within the educational process itself. The book is a useful tour d'horizon of the history and problems, highlighting the discrimination and abuses of power this quest has involved, and indicates what needs to be done to implement a more rounded and effective global right to education.
