This chapter argues that many Catholic colleges and universities failed to sufficiently embody Catholic social teaching’s option for the poor in recruiting, admissions, and retention policies. It begins with a brief overview of empirical trends concerning the access of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to higher education in the United States. Next, it discusses the right to education in Catholic social thought. This section of the chapter highlights Catholic social teaching’s emphasis on the importance of education in overcoming poverty and fostering the right to participation in the life of society. It also argues that in a knowledge-based society the right to education must include access to higher education, particularly for the economically marginalized (a subsequent chapter examines the distinct, but related disadvantages in access faced by racially minoritized students) The second part of the chapter presents empirical data concerning the socioeconomic background of students from selected Catholic colleges and universities. The chapter concludes with some normative conclusions about the degree to which Catholic colleges and universities promote access for low socioeconomic status students and suggests how they might be able to realize this goal to an ever-greater degree.

In the article "Unity of the system of state universities in today’s Russia", published in August 2020, it was proved that the constitutional right to education implies the need to support not only the leading universities of the country with the help of "academic leadership" programs, but all universities established by the state. Firstly, the creation of a university by the state presupposes responsibility on the part of the state as the founder for ensuring the conditions of its activity; secondly, students of all state universities equally have the right to demand from the state the creation of conditions for obtaining high-quality and modern education. In the development of the concept of unity of the higher education system, this article discusses specific practical steps to implement the approaches indicated in the article in terms of the use of public resources. The authors formulated a number of proposals regarding the state policy in the field of science and higher education in relation to the distribution of financial resources and other resources between institutions of higher education, and also proposed specific measures for their implementation, described by examples from practice.

This article presents the educational aspects of prisoner access to higher education while in detention. The theoretical overview discusses the Lithuanian and foreign scientific resources, analyzing the importance of education for all human beings, no matter whether they are incarcerated or not. The empirical part, consists of surveys and questionnaires collected from Ministries of Justice, and other institutions that collect data on prisoners pursuing higher education in seven foreign countries. The empirical evidence highlights the possibilities of and motives for achieving a higher education degree by those performing custodial sentences in prison. The third paragraph of article 24 in Lithuanian law of education No. 38-1804 [11] addresses the right to education for every citizen and legal alien having a permanent or temporary residence in the Republic of Lithuania. The state guarantees the right to primary and secondary education. It also provides for accessibility to higher education, vocational training, and graduate degree programs. The law of education in Article 33, also addresses access to education for socially underprivileged people such as families living in poverty, refugees, people who have dropped out from school at an early age, unemployed, people with addiction problems, as well as those returning from correctional institutions. Thus, despite the social situation in Lithuania, the education system is designed so that it is available to everyone. In order to promote their effective adjustment into the community, disadvantaged individuals need access to education through social services and education assistance programs. This article aims to investigate the opportunities for access to higher education available to prisoners in detention and to understand the motivation. Objective – the availability of higher education in the Lithuanian prison system and the motivation. The article utilizes the following methods: Theoretical: the article reviews the scientific literature and legal analysis of documents of both Lithuanian and foreign authors, sources of information and insight into the normative documents of the formed provisions. Empirical: Surveys conducted with justice ministries or institutions that collect information about higher education for convicts, in seven foreign countries were conducted. Semi-structured interviews with prisoners who have acquired and the benefitted from higher education were also conducted with a written survey. The results of the questionnaire demonstrated that prisoners have a high level of desire to improve themselves through the selection of higher education, while free time is mentioned as a necessary component. Of the surveyed countries, representatives of institutions indicated that prisoners have the opportunity to study in higher education, but this opportunity depends upon certain circumstances. Lithuanian law provides higher education opportunities for socially excluded, at-risk groups. Imprisoned persons have a high level of motivation to be successful in the higher education and for learning. Thus, higher education institutions should have close cooperation with the correctional institutions.

The ‘right to education’ proclaimed by the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights requires access to learning as well as the support systems. Since access can be interrupted by various circumstances, the possibility of providing continuity despite external dangers by using online distance education, offers an intriguing and valuable option. For example, life-threatening disasters, such as war or hurricanes, can interrupt or halt ongoing higher education coursework. Despite that reality, some students remain determined to continue the learning. How can institutions respond to this determination fast enough to be of use and effective enough to maintain their educational reputations? Empire State College’s (New York) activities in its Lebanon Residence Program after the 2006 war and Xavier University in New Orleans’ actions in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina provide valuable answers. Together with the unique Sloan Semester--created to temporarily provide educational continuity for hurricane affected students-- these programs also offer lessons on resilience and survival in a crisis.

The Right

This chapter aims to show why institutions of higher education should be responsible for securing a citizen’s right to education over a life. It begins by showing how the primary political responsibilities of social institutions in a liberal society are derived from a more basic obligation to promote citizens’ ability to freely (and successfully) pursue the good life. These political responsibilities arise are called liberty-maximizing requirements of justice. It then argues that liberty-maximizing justice warrants the inclusion of higher education as a liberal social institution whose overarching purpose is to the provision of an autonomy-supporting education to all citizens. Finally, it specifies why an autonomy-supporting education requires a specific institution for its provision and why direct access to public knowledge—through the Internet and public libraries, for example—is insufficient for this purpose.

Abstract Affecting many spheres of social life, globalization also inevitably affects the functioning of higher education and the legal status of individuals who intend to apply for admission in a country other than the one where they completed a previous stage of their education. The paper considers selected legal aspects of the access to higher education in Poland, primarily in the context of the internationalization of education, and, thus, the internationalization of the recruitment procedure where individual candidates apply for admission to study on the basis of documents authorizing them to pursue higher education in different legal systems. The background for the reflections is the normative content of the right to education and one of its guarantees, namely the principle of equal access to education – in Poland having the status of a constitutional norm.

This chapter discusses Article 2 of the First Protocol of the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees the right to education. Article 2 extends to all forms of education provided or permitted by the state–primary, secondary, and higher education, as well as to private schools and universities. The right to education consists of a variety of rights and freedoms for children and parents. These mostly belong to the pupil or student, but parents do have certain rights of their own under Article 2 about the way in which their child is educated.
