<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The thesis analyses the right of learners to gain access to published materials for the purposes of education. Copyright law acts as a regulatory barrier to accessing
such materials. Part I of the thesis deals with the international legal framework for the realisation of the right of access to educational materials, and Part II explores its domestic application in two jurisdictions (India and South Africa).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The thesis, in Part I, argues that access to educational materials is an integral input in the realisation of the human right to education. Further, it describes
international copyright protections and argues that newer developments indicate a shift towards recognising human rights and considering access issues. The thesis illustrates the normative tension between these two systems, which plays out through conflicting
international legal obligations upon a single state. Part I concludes by describing how the tension between copyright and learners’ right to education is a site for the fragmentation of international law, based on the availability of a variety of dispute resolution
mechanisms, each of which is likely to weight different factors differently in adjudicating upon the same issue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">In Part II, the thesis considers the domestic interplay between the right to education and copyright in India and South Africa. Due to conflicting obligations in
international law, the duties incumbent upon the state by the right to education and copyright (if any) are highly dependent on domestic statutory and constitutional context. In 2016, India saw multi-national publishers bring a case of copyright infringement
against a small university photo-copying shop for the creation of prescribed course packs for educational purposes. The High Court upheld the entitlement of students but left many questions unanswered regarding the scope of the educational exception. In 2018,
South Africa engaged in legislative reform to amend its copyright statute and in the process introduced more detailed exceptions and limitations, some of which specifically relate to facilitating education. The law reform process has been a site of contestation
between publishers as well as other commercial interests and proponents of access to knowledge. In considering the role of international law in domestic legal systems, the conclusion draws comparisons across the case studies, thereby enriching the content
of the right of access to educational materials.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Sanya Samtani, currently a Research Resident at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights and a Research Associate at the Oxford Human Rights Hub, completed her BCL
in 2016 and is a DPhil (in law) candidate at the University of Oxford. Her research on ‘The Right of Access to Educational Materials’ articulates students’ right of access to educational materials and lies at the intersection of the right to education and
copyright law in international law, as well as case studies in India and South Africa. She clerked at the Constitutional Court of South Africa from July-December 2018. She completed her undergraduate law degree at National Academy of Legal Studies and Research
(NALSAR), in Hyderabad, India (2015).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
