In response to the need to clarify the existing legal human rights framework as it applies to the role of private actors in education, and in an effort to provide normative guiding principles against which to analyse privatisation in and of education from a human rights perspective, the Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (GI-ESCR), the Right to Education Project (RTE) and the Open Society Foundation – Education Support Program (OSF-ESP) have been working to establish the process for the development of Human Rights Guiding Principles on the obligations of States regarding private actors in education. 

Key information on the process and development of these Guiding Principles is available on this regularly updated webpage: http://bit.ly/GPprivatisation
