...policies not funded. When public systems do not provide an education of sufficient quality, and for-profit actors fill the gap but operate without regulation, the marginalized lose out. Governments are the primary duty bearers for the right to education, yet this right is not justiciable in almost half of countries. ( UNESCO, 2017/2018 , p. 7) In the meantime, teachers are expected to ensure that all children reach the same standards by passing the same examinations. Clearly, this unachievable goal is very stressful for teachers and students alike. This is pa...

In 2021, divided government in Madison ensured that court involvement in redistricting would be maximal.
