This dissertation examines the problems facing adolescent girls in the pursuit of their right to education and this especially in South Africa. It presents the right to education as a human right belonging to everyone; not a privilege reserved for a category of person. The right to education is a fundamental human right and an empowerment right because it contributes to the achievement of other rights. The dissertation describes the provisions of relevant international and regional human rights instruments and assesses whether South African laws, policies and practices on the ground adhere to the requirements’ of international and regional law. It assert that, though there has been provision for universal and compulsory primary schooling and higher participation rate for girls, big challenges particularly for adolescent girls are still prevalent, particularly after primary school even though the cracks may appear very subtle and almost none issue. This dissertation shows that to solve these problems and make the right to education realizable for every child, the South African government should consider the cultural and religious environment of the adolescent girl and also renew its commitments and strategies designed to improve their retention rate and advancement at school. gm2014 Centre for Human Rights restricted 2014-04-01T12:14:51Z 2014-04-01T12:14:51Z 2013-12-10 2012 Mini Dissertation Djouguela, FD 2012, The right to education for the girl-child and problems facing adolescent girls in the pursuit of their right to education : a focus on South Africa, LLM dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/37361> F13/9/1178/gm http://hdl.handle.net/2263/37361 en © 2013 University of Pretoria.
