Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights) on a non-discriminatory basis. Mr. Peter Hyll-Larsen, Coordinator, Right to Education Project, Action Aid International, UK, made reference to the “4 As” formulation and highlighted the complaint mechanisms and legal instruments available through the various human rights mechanisms including the Treaty Bodies. He encouraged, if possible, to go further and to frame even more systematically and rigorously the issue in the language of these “4 As”, as done in for example General Comment 13 from the CESCR. This should go both for these recommendations themselves, and for what action these recommendations recommend: i.e new laws and policies at the national level. Mr. Charles Masabo, Member of the Senate, Burundi, discussed the location of schools and the impact of residential patterns as well as the exclusion of members of minorities from schools and their dropout rates. He also discussed recommendation 30 with respect to adequate resources. Mr. Masabo’s recommendations for addressing equal access to quality education for minorities include awareness-raising, implementation of education infrastructure in villages and support for revenue generating activities. Ms. Helen Pinnock of Save the Children, UK, spoke about the principle of nondiscrimination in securing equal access to education, barriers to access to education that are compounded, and impediments resulting from poverty. Specifically, Ms. Pinnock recommended that the Forum should promote monitoring mechanisms which hold decision makers accountable to providing flexible approaches to education delivery, which respond to and value the diverse cultures, identities and contexts present in the population. Ms. Doris Angst, Director, Federal Commission Against Racism (FCR) – Switzerland spoke about national minorities, migrant workers and refugees, the discrimination they face on the basis of ethnic origin and the positive results that can emanate from positive actions by third parties. She recommended the inclusion of a paragraph in the recommendations that States should promote and finance such positive actions by third parties which aim at granting equal access to education. Ms. Barbara Wilson, UN Expert and Member of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, highlighted the recent adoption of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural rights by the General Assembly and the potential use of the individual complaint mechanism to address discrimination in education. Ms. Wilson also discussed the forthcoming likely adoption of General Comment 20 on non-discrimination, which is a potential tool for addressing discrimination in education. Mr. Prasad Kariyawasam, UN Expert and Member of the Committee on Migrant Workers underlined the issue of equal access to quality education for migrant workers and members of their family.
