Natalie DeclaraDer Schutz von Kinderrechten und das Recht auf Bildung

About this book deutschenglish

According to the Global Education Monitoring Report 2020, 258 million children, adolescents and young adults do not attend school. The COVID-19 pandemic has uncovered and exacerbated inequalities in education. The resulting education crisis is the biggest disruption in the education system since the Second World War. On that note, the right to education must be given primary consideration.

This book deals with the fundamental question: What legal protection do children enjoy under the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)? The aim of this work is to show that the CRC and its provisions is a document with far-reaching implications and diverse fields of application. A detailed analysis of article 28 CRC (right to education) and article 29 CRC (aims of education) shows how extensive and closely linked these provisions are. Article 13 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, a cornerstone of the right to education, is used as a comparison.

“Inclusion and education” are the main subjects of the Global Education Monitoring Report 2020. This report describes and evaluates progress made in implementing the Global Education Agenda 2030. Special attention is paid to the Sustainable Development Goal 4, the global goal for high-quality education. As an “interim assessment” up to the year 2030, the report has come at an unfortunate moment: the COVID-19 pandemic condemns the good prospects so far to failure. Closures of schools and universities are among the most significant measures taken to limit the risk of infection: In April 2020, 91% of students in 194 countries worldwide were affected by such measures. In this context, it seems to have been forgotten that education is still a human right and that its continuity is essential, even in times of crisis. Much remains to be done in terms of the accessibility and adaptability of the right to education. Policy Paper 42 is published to assess the extent to which the education sector has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and to examine the costs for a recovery from the education crisis.
