Blog by the Privatisation in Education and Human Rights Consortium (PEHRC) including this extract:

We believe this is the time to create a movement that reclaims public education. Our movement calls for action in five key areas:

  1. Prioritize the public; We call on all education actors to prioritize quality, public, inclusive, and free education for all.

  2. Robustly fund public education.

  3. Stop funding education privatization.

  4. Regulate and enforce regulations on private actors.

  5. Create a narrative change.”
