The Platform on the
Right to Education is composed of NGOs committed to this Right.

On 29th
of January, the platform met to prepare a statement for the High Level Panel discussion on human rights
mainstreaming which will be held on March 1st, 2013, during the 22nd
session of the HRC. This Panel will focus on human rights and the
post-2015 development agenda, with a particular focus on the right to
education.

The NGOs agreed to say that the failure
to achieve education for all is in part due to the politics surrounding
education in developing countries.

Several activities will be organized to
promote the right to education over the next several months. In March, a side
event about global citizenship with a focus on education will be organised. In
addition, Apprentissage Sans Frontière will develop a seminar about the quality
of education and professional
training.

The Special
Rapporteur on right to education, M. Kishore Singh is also expected to attend
these meetings.
