Ten years ago, the rise of privatisation in education pushed civil society to organise across regions. Today, that global movement is stronger and better connected, with the Public Education and Human Rights Coalition growing in reach and influence. 📖🌍 In this interview, Juana Barragán Díaz, the Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights’ Programme Officer on the Right to Education, reflects on how far the movement has come and why defending public education remains essential. She speaks about the shifts since 2015, the risks that new models and actors are introducing and the power of collective action to change funding policies, build shared standards and support governments to protect and guarantee the right to education for all. 📝🏫 The movement continues to grow, and so does the demand for education shaped by human rights, not market logic.
