New Op-Ed Highlights the Critical Need for Public Education Amidst Growing Challenges

New Op-Ed Highlights the Critical Need for Public Education Amidst Growing Challenges

Aligned with our mission to foster public education and address the growing threats of the privatisation of education, the Privatisation in Education and Human Rights Consortium (PEHRC) recently published an Op-Ed titled 'We Need Public Education to Help Us Address the Challenges We Face, But It’s Under Threat'.

This powerful piece, featured on Scoop, Znet and The Left Chapter, highlights the pressing issues that arise from the commodification of education and the systemic underfunding of public education, which leaves marginalised communities disproportionately affected. Drawing on global data and case studies, the Op-Ed makes a compelling case for why public education remains essential for social equity and inclusion, calling for urgent action to reclaim and robustly fund public education. 

As active participants in PEHRC, we join this call, advocating for stronger regulation of private actors and a transformative approach that centers public education as a pillar of democratic societies.
