In the Wake of Privatisation Scandals, it's Time to Reclaim Public Education. New Op-Ed!

In the Wake of Privatisation Scandals, it's Time to Reclaim Public Education. New Op-Ed!

Aligned with our commitments to advocate for a robust collective narrative in support of public education, alongside our endeavours to combat the proliferation of education privatisation and raise awareness of the human rights implications stemming from the commercialisation of education, we are pleased to announce the recent publication of an Op-Ed titled "In the wake of privatisation scandals, it's time to reclaim public education" by Equal Times.

Authored by the Privatisation in Education and Human Rights Consortium (PERHC), an informal network comprising national, regional, and global organisations and individuals dedicated to analysing and addressing the challenges posed by the rapid proliferation of private entities in education from a human rights perspective and advocating for the right to free, quality public education, the Op-Ed sheds light on alarming human rights violations within the for-profit chain of schools, Bridge International Academies. As founding members and active participants in this consortium, we amplify the call for action to protect the fundamental right to free, inclusive, and quality public education for all.

For further insights, we invite you to read the Op-Ed here.
