Covenant, States parties have an enhanced obligation to fulfil (provide) regarding the right to
education, but the extent of this obligation is not uniform for all levels of education.
The CESCR went on to give the following examples of the State’s obligation to provide
education:
•
A State must fulfil (provide) the adaptability of education by designing and providing
resources for curricula which reflect the contemporary needs of students in a
changing world.
•
A State must fulfil (provide) the availability of education by actively developing a
system of schools, including building classrooms, delivering programmes, providing
teaching materials, training teachers and paying them domestically competitive
salaries.
Fulfil (promote)
The obligation to promote is a component of the obligation to fulfil and requires States to
promote international human rights standards that relate to the right to education, particularly
through human rights education and the protection of the right to information.
