Initiated by the former UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education, Katarina Tomaševski → Right to Education AvailabilityAvailability – that education is free and government-funded and that there is adequate infrastructure and trained teachers able to support education delivery. Is education available – in terms of human resources and equipment – in a way that corresponds to real needs? Accessibility Accessibility – that the system is non- discriminatory and accessible to all, and that positive steps are taken to include the most marginalised. Is education accessible to all? Acceptability Acceptability – that the content of education is relevant, non-discriminatory and culturally appropriate, and of quality; that the school itself is safe and teachers are professional. Is the educational system accepted by the populations concerned: are they in agreement with the form of education? AdaptabilityAdaptability – that education can evolve with the changing needs of society and contribute to challenging inequalities, such as gender discrimination, and that it can be adapted locally to suit specific contexts. Is education adaptable to the different needs and circumstances of students and learners?
