History
Founded by the 1st UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education, Katarina Tomaševski. Originally conceived of as an online repository for information about the right to education, international law and national constitutions and Tomasevski’s expert reports. 2008, F-XF5056 - ActionAid, B-XB0054 - Amnesty International (AI) and F-XF6650 - Global Campaign for Education (GCE) decided to honour and continue her work as a collaborative initiative building bridges between their respective fields in development, human rights and education. 2012, F-XD4112 - Save the Children International and F-XF2418 - Human Rights Watch (HRW) joined. May 2017, became an independent charity and adopted current name.
Aims
Promote and defend education as a human right worldwide by: protecting and strengthening the international legal, political and institutional framework that guarantees the right to education and guides its implementation at national level; strengthening civil society actors' capacity to understand and effectively use human rights law and mechanisms to advance the realization of the right to education at all levels through monitoring, reporting, advocacy and litigation.
