This manual was originally prepared as a background paper by Katarina Tomasevski for the Regional Workshop on Universalizing the Right to Education of Good Quality: A Rights-based Approach to Archieving Education for All in Manila, Philippines, 29-31 October 2002. The aim of this manual is to provide an easily-referenced, one-stop guide to rights-based education, which makes sense of the bewildering array of global human rights documents and draws on numerous country-specific examples.
