INTRODUCTION

The right to education has been universally recognised since the universal declaration of human right and has since been enshrined  in  various international conventions, national constitutions and development plans. Education is a human right as well as a tool for achieving goals of equality, development and peace. Subeb (2009).

However, while the vast majority of countries have signed and rectified international conventions such as the universal declaration of human rights and the United Nations convention on the right of woman few countries have integrated these rights in their constitutions or provided the legislative and administrative frameworks to ensure that these rights are realised  in  practice.

In some cases the rights may exist along with and the user is made to pay for the rights, while in other cases the right exists in theory, but there is no capacity to implement this right in practice. Inevitably, a lack of government support for the right to education hits the poorest hardest especially the women. CSACEFA (2008).
