The Right to Education Initiative (RTE) is a global human rights organisation focusing on the right to education. Established in 2000 by the first UN Special Rapporteur on the right to education, Katarina Tomaševski, RTE was re-launched in 2008 as the 'Right to Education Project'. RTE promotes education as a human right, making international and national law accessible to everybody. They conduct research and legal analysis and they develop tools and guides to help understand and effectively use human rights mechanisms to claim and enforce the right to education. They build bridges between disciplines (human rights, education and development), actors (CSOs, international organisations, academics), and language communities, linking international, national and local advocacy with practical engagements leading to positive changes on the ground.
