Should free pre-primary education be a fundamental right for every child?
Around the world, millions of children still lack access to quality early childhood education. A growing international initiative seeks to change that by strengthening the recognition of children’s right to education.
Childhood Education International and the Committee on Teaching About the UN (CTAUN) invite you to a global conversation on From Commitment to Action: Making Free Pre-Primary Education a Global Right.
About the webinar
The webinar will explore a proposed Optional Protocol to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The initiative is supported by a growing coalition of countries seeking to advance the right to free public pre-primary and secondary education.
Speakers include representatives of Sierra Leone, Human Rights Watch and UNESCO. They will discuss what this initiative could mean for children, families and education systems worldwide, and why action is needed now.
