An
understanding that social rights need the advocacy we all can bring to bear in
ensuring its realisation is germane. Importantly, using the law as a tool in
driving accountability and responsibility both from the government and
individual are very important steps to take in this bid. For instance, the
right to education viewed in most African countries as unjusticiable hinged on
the resource debate is slowly but gradually fading away. This slow but
consistent success is achieved by the information on the various legal
provisions with the global and regional human rights systems that protect the
right to education.
Hopefully, national jurisdiction will key in to the emerging jurisprudence and ground the promotion and protection of this all important right.
