This booklet was developed to assist human rights groups who focus on education in adding budget work to their research and advocacy tools and for applied budget groups interested to use a human rights framework for education budgets. The booklet looks at elements of the right to education and where these might be found in a government’s budget; a government’s human rights obligations and questions these raise about a government’s budget; a process for using a rights framework to analyze a government’s education budget; and a short discussion of costs related to the right to education.
