CAT Submits Input to OHCHR on the Right to Education

On 11 June 2025, the Children’s Advisory Team (CAT) submitted a report to the call of High Commissioner for Human Rights for input to the Open-ended Intergovernmental Working Group on a possible optional protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The CAT conducted surveys around the globe and held consultations with their peers. The narrative report brings together the views of 1,297 children from 12 countries, who participated in the process as active contributors concerned with issues affecting their lives, rights and future.

The report is available to read in English and Spanish, as are the global results (English, Spanish and French).
