This guide presents ideas and methodologies to put a human rights-based approach to education into practice. It focuses on six strategic areas that are central to (and provide a framework for) an HRBA to education including understanding and securing the right to education working with excluded groups; financing education; promoting citizen participation in education securing rights in education; advancing a full “Education for All” agenda. Each section begins with a brief overview of key issues to be considered and then discusses a range of activities that could be developed within a scheme of work. Short practical examples are given, from a wide range of countries. The majority of the activities focus on work at the local level, but national and international links are also discussed. Within each section two or three areas are analyzed in more detail.
