- Basic texts on the right to education and protection of the child
This document of Standard-setting instruments on the right to
education and the protection of the child, responds to a double
expectation: to those professionals who are, daily, confronted with

For Education is not merely admitting children to schools, but it
also complies with fundamental rights.

Each aspect of gender inequality is exacerbated for women. Faced with this persistent discrimination against women
and the resultant waste of human resources, the Committee
