Notes
*Katarina Tomasevski died on October 4 (aged 53), just weeks after completing her 2006 Global Report on the State of the Right to Education Worldwide. On 12 September she wrote to say ‘It is a huge relief that I made it—it was touch and go. Do not worry: I am not in pain, my brain works well, and I am still cheerful’. Her determination to finish the Global Report (www.katarinatomasevski.com) despite her terminal illness was typical of Katarina's fierce devotion to children's educational rights. She could certainly be difficult; she delighted in ‘punching the noses’ (her words!) of powerful organisations with her outspoken views, but she was utterly fearless in speaking truth to power. The best we can do in her memory is—as she herself says in her introduction to the Global Report—is ‘Read the report. Get angry—about the bitter reality of economic exclusion from education that should legally be free’. We shall miss her voice; but her anger should be ours.
