The Learners
Main principles
• Education is a fundamental human right and an enabling right.
• Education is a public good, of which the state is the duty bearer.
• Gender equality is inextricably linked to the right to education for all.
Target 3, point 43.:A well-established, properly-regulated tertiary education system supported by technology, Open Educational Resources (OERs) and distance education modalities can increase access, equity, quality and relevance, and narrow the gap between what is taught at tertiary education institutions and what economies and societies demand. The provision of tertiary education should be progressively free, in line with existing international agreements.
Educational resources – a key factor for inclusion?

OER in a variety of languages and cultural contexts• Encourage the open licensing of educational
materials produced with public funds.ICDE work shouder to shoulder with UNESCO and other stakeholders to have this implemented
