Important scholarship on the right to education and universality

Abstract

This edited book offers ten contributions concerned with the interesting and imperative issue of concretising human rights and equality in education. The contributions involve analyses of specific challenges in jurisdictions such as Ireland, Kenya, South Africa, the United States (New York) and India, and include pedagogical explanations of the contexts of each case. The ten contributions are divided into four parts. Part I is concerned with the role of public and private actors in education. Part II is about balancing the right to freedom of religion and culture and the right to education. Part III covers gender equality in education. Part IV focuses on litigation for educational quality and equality.
