Article 2 “Every individual shalll be entitled to the enjoyment of the rights and freedoms recognized and guaranteed in the present Charter without distinction of any kind such as race, ethnic group, colour, sex, language, religion, political or any other opinion, national and social origin, fortune, birth or other status.” The Charter also places an obligation on States to ensure the elimination of every form of discrimination against women. The relevant provision of the Charter reads: Article 18(3) “The State shall ensure the elimination of every form of discrimination against women and also ensure the protection of the rights of the woman and the child as stipulated in International declaration and Conventions” Article 25 of the same Charter reiterates further that: “States parties to the present Charter shall have the duty to promote and ensure through teaching, education and publication the respect of the rights and freedoms contained in the present Charter and to see to it that these freedoms and rights as well as corresponding obligations and duties are understood.” From the above provisions of the African Charter (ACHPR) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), two things are very clear: i) discrimination in education in whatever form is prohibited; ii) the responsibility of ensuring non-discrimination in education and the promotion of human rights rests with States parties. 25
