Public Civil Service Act to establish such a mechanism for the exercise of the right to growth. This law provides for a competitive procedure for the replacement of all posts, including in the order of post growth, and at the same time establishes the principle of forming a personnel reserve on a competitive basis. In addition, the law contains an exhaustive list of exceptions to the competitive procedure for the placement of posts, one of which is the appointment of a civil servant in the personnel reserve. This is justified, since the personnel reserve itself is formed on a competitive basis. However, the law provides for the possibility of enrolling a civil servant in the personnel reserve based on the results of certification, which, in our opinion, does not comply with the principle of legal certainty, does not fully realize the right of equal access to public service, and also does not ensure the filling of posts according to the principle of competence. However, the potential of this law is not fully realized, as it contains a number of uncertain provisions that overextend the discretion of the employer's representative.

Children with disabilities suffer disproportionately from the learning crisis. Although they represent only about 1.5% to 5% of the child population, they comprise more than half of out-of-school children globally. Inspired by a commitment that every child has the right to quality education, a growing global drive for inclusive education promotes an education system where children with disabilities receive an appropriate and high-quality education that is delivered alongside their peers. The global commitment to inclusive education is captured in the Sustainable Development Goal 4—ensuring inclusive and equitable education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. This paper explores inclusive education for children with disabilities in Mongolia’s mainstream education system, based on a 2019 survey of more than 5,000 households; interviews with teachers, school administrators, education ministry officials, and social workers; and visits to schools and kindergartens in four provinces and one district of the capital city. Mongolia has developed a strong legal and policy framework for inclusive education aligned with international best practice, but implementation and capacity are lagging. This is illustrated using four indicators of inclusive education: inclusive culture, inclusive policies, inclusive practices, and inclusive physical environments. The conclusion presents a matrix of recommendations for government and education sector development partners.


The paper presents the current scenario of education in India and as examined the rural areas of Patna district area becoming nastiest in spite of initiatives taken and expenses made by the government in this regard. This paper used some statistical measures to evaluate the purpose of the right to education, which is not mere providing education but to provide the right to receive an education of good quality to every child. A quality education is maintained by three key columns viz. providing quality teachers, providing quality resources and by providing secure and compassionate atmosphere. Some suggestive measures have been given through this paper which will help in improving the status of education especially in primary schools in our country

This chapter explores working Paulistanos’ access to good jobs and the limits to mobility in the 1920s. By the end of the Old Republic, laborers and liberal professionals comprised São Paulo’s middle class, and a segmented labor market existed with good jobs in commerce, transportation, and the mechanical sector and bad jobs in the textile sector. Interview transcripts and worker profiles show workers valued a high salary, opportunities for training and advancement, and family employment. Established residents and new residents, who were internal migrants, Eastern Europeans, or immigrants from other Southern Cone ports, vied for these good jobs. Despite tightening immigration regulations and increasing cost of living, the city doubled in size. Not everyone had equal access to these positions: a good appearance and the right connections facilitated entry, placing individuals coming directly from the lavoura, who could not afford the city’s overpriced clothing, women, and Afro-Brazilians increasingly at a disadvantage. The search for housing compounded disadvantages, and the working class increasingly built outward, expanding São Paulo’s footprint into the city’s floodplains. The Great Flood of 1929 demonstrated the precariousness of success and limits of opportunity as flood victims sought refuge in the Hospedaria.


This chapter looks at the Indian Supreme Court's exemption of minority schools from the requirements of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 (RTE Act). It argues that the consequences of the minority school exemptions from the RTE Act by the Supreme Court have led to the unfortunate result of a large number of private schools falsely appealing for minority status. This is made possible by the ambiguous definition of what constitutes a minority institution and also the lack of clarity as to who is the authority that would declare schools to be minority schools. There is therefore an urgent need to review the definition of what constitutes a minority institution. More importantly, it is crucial to argue that minority schools should not be exempted from the norms and standards prescribed in the RTE Act that are necessary for quality education.
