EDUCATION IS A HUMAN RIGHT 

The United Nations first articulated the right to education in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.   Article 28 stipulates that everyone has the right to a free and compulsory elementary education.   Over the last 63 years, many international agreements have built upon this base to assure that governments commit to and meet their obligations to realizing the human right to education.    Yet, worldwide today, it is estimated that 69 million children are not in school and approximately one adult in six is unable to read or write.
 

Our Conference this year will investigate the many causes of this disparity, and we will focus on  how access to and quality of education can steadily improve the learning experience for all peoples.  
 
We invite you to see yourself as a human rights defender and join us at the United Nations on 3 February, 2012 for our annual conference.
