The Right to Education project will be re-launching this website in September 2008, making it more comprehensive, up-to-date and further oriented towards promoting mobilisation for legal accountability. The Right to Education project is a new project, building on the resources of the old one, which will remain until the new website is launched. The Project will be coordinated by, amongst others, ActionAid International and the Global Campaign for Education. For more information, please contact us on info@right-to-education.org |
| The Right to Education Project (RTE) is a public access human rights resource, the only such site in the world devoted solely to the right to education. It was started by Katarina Tomasevski, the first ever Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, after her appointment in 1998. |
RTE defends the right to education and human rights in education, and promotes enhancement of all human rights through education. As a specialized applied research project, we carry out assessments of the global realization of the right to education, provide input for education strategies, and facilitate exposing and opposing human rights violations. |

At What Age?...are school-children employed, married and taken to court? Children's right to education is currently under threat from early marriage, child labour and imprisonment; States have not adapted their legislation in favour of the right to education, and they do not have agreed standards for the transition from childhood to adulthood either internationally or nationally.In the same country, it is not rare to find that children are legally obliged to go to school until they are 14 or 15 years old but a different law allows them to work at an earlier age or to be married at the age of 12 or to be criminally responsible from the age of 7."
