UN Human Rights Council 11d ago

On 18 June 2026, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to education, Farida Shaheed, presented her most recent report to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. In her report, the Special Rapporteur addresses curriculum, pedagogy and assessment as elements of the right to education. This report analyses how curriculum content, pedagogical practices and assessment models can be aligned with each other and with the aims of education, and equip learners with the skills, values and resilience needed to address and navigate evolving realities. It also examines the political economy of curriculum design, the roles of teachers, students and parents in decision-making and the interactions between global frameworks and local cultural knowledge, in an overall human rights-based approach to curriculum, pedagogy and assessment. #HRC62
