| Abstract | Across the globe, inequalities in educational access and achievement, as well as high levels of absolute educational deprivation of both children and adults persist, despite decades of attempts for solutions. Most recently, the ‘right’ to education is increasingly invoked in the language and approaches of many development actors concerned with addressing these persisting inequalities, yet few concrete steps to realise this right have been taken. The challenges relate both to conceptualising ‘rights’ and what they mean in relation to education, and to enabling substantive mechanisms and strategies to make them real. Central to overcoming both types of challenge are the voices of citizens, and recognition of the multiple identities and social hierarchies within which citizenship is played out in different contexts. |
