This article aims to discuss the access and permanence of indigenous students in higher education, based on a field work conducted with young people of different ethnicities, university students from public and private institutions in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Through a work of historical revision on the right to education of the indigenous populations in the country, the analysis of documents and interviews conducted to students, we verified the need to improve the entry process and the conditions of permanence of these students, executing and making feasible an expansion of public affirmative action policies aimed at the inclusion of indigenous populations in higher education in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

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 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.

O presente artigo, que é fruto de uma pesquisa em andamento, objetiva inventariar e atualizar a luta por educação, em especial de um grupo de mulheres negras que fazem parte de um coletivo de estudantes do Pré-Vestibular Popular Pedro Pomar; pré-vestibular este, situado em Niterói, na região metropolitana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Do ponto de vista teórico-metodológico, fundamentadas em trabalhos anteriores produzidos no interior do Núcleo de Pesquisa Vozes da Educação, vimos optando pela pesquisa qualitativa de natureza etnográfica e participativa, na qual a pesquisa é concebida como uma experiência de conhecimento, e o trabalho de campo, longe de ser apenas um trabalho de coleta e produção de dados, ou de produção de conhecimentos e questões, possibilitando assim, um movimento de ação-reflexão-ação coletiva sobre o(s) processo(s) de produção do conhecimento, corroborando o que Santos defende como o papel político e epistêmico da pesquisa numa perspectiva emancipatória. Nesse percurso, provocadas pela força política, pedagógica e discursiva das longas lutas de mulheres pelo direito à educação, assumimos, no presente artigo, o pressuposto conceitual e político de que uma teoria é um dispositivo analítico para melhor conhecer o que ainda não sabemos, e também para produzir suspeições e estranhamentos naquilo que se apresenta como familiar, como, por exemplo, o descaso dos poderes públicos com a (re)produção da vida das classes populares, em especial a questão de sua escolarização. Procuraremos contextualizar o Pré-vestibular Popular Pedro Pomar, trazendo alguns elementos de seus repertórios de ação.Palavras-chave: Movimento social; Mulheres negras; Direito à educação; Universidade pública. Abstract: This article, which is the result of ongoing research, aims to inventory and update the struggle for education, especially from a group of black women who are part of a group of students of the Pre-College Popular Pedro Pomar; pre-university entrance exam, located in Niterói, in the metropolitan region of the State of Rio de Janeiro. From a theoretical-methodological point of view, based on previous work produced within the Voices of Education Research Center, we have opted for qualitative research of an ethnographic and participatory nature, in which research is conceived as a knowledge experience. , and the field work, far from being just a data collection and production work, or the production of knowledge and questions, thus enabling a movement of collective action-reflection-action on the process (s) of knowledge production, corroborating what Santos defends as the political and epistemic role of research in an emancipatory perspective. In this course, provoked by the political, pedagogical and discursive force of women's long struggles for the right to education, we assume, in this article, the conceptual and political assumption that a theory is an analytical device to better know what we do not know yet, and also to produce suspicions and strangeness in what presents itself as familiar, as, for example, the neglect of the public powers with the (re) production of the life of the popular classes, especially the issue of their schooling. We will seek to contextualize the Pre-College Popular Pedro Pomar, bringing some elements of his action repertoires.Keywords: Social movement; Black women; Right to education; Public university.

The right to education is a fundamental right of the person, which is recognized and guaranteed in Albania by international acts and domestic legislation. The right to education is a positive right, which not only must be recognized but it obligates the State to take all measures to enable its realization. However, this right is not an absolute right, which means that the State has the obligation to guarantee the right to education up to the 9-year system, while it is at the discretion of the individual to attend or not the secondary and higher education. The right to access education in the university system can be conditioned by a series of criteria set in laws and bylaws. This paper will analyze the innovations and conditions in the criteria provided by the law “On higher education” and its bylaws regarding university admission of students belonging to vulnerable groups such as minorities by combining the theoretical analysis with the practical implementation of these criteria.   Received: 14 June 2021 / Accepted: 4 August 2021 / Published: 5 September 2021

El escrito demuestra que los(as) jóvenes del sector ru- ral, con relación a la educación superior, requieren de una pronta y justa atención por parte del Estado para ayudarlos(as) a superar las dificultades que afrontan una vez terminan la educación media, de modo que no vean frustrado el desarrollo de su proyecto de vida. Enfatiza en la importancia de la formulación y ejecución de polí- ticas públicas claras y adecuadas a las necesidades de los egresados de aquellos municipios distantes a las universi- dades, caso específico los de Tununguá, Boyacá, Colom- bia. Defiende la educación como el medio más importante para el desarrollo del sector rural en el país; esto implica cobertura, ayuda económica, orientación a las familias y compromiso del (la) joven para hacer parte de procesos formativos a nivel profesional en el campo de conocimien- to de su preferencia, y de esta forma acceder a otros estilos de vida para su familia, en el marco de un país que recono- ce el derecho a la igualdad.The writing shows that the young’s of the rural sector in relation to higher education, require a prompt and fair attention of the state to help to overcome the difficulties they face once, they finish their media education studies, frustrating the development of the life project, of each teenage, which is built in this time lapse. It focuses on the importance of the formulation and execution of clear public politics suitable to the necessity of the graduates of those towns distant of the universities as is the specific case of Tununguá (Boyacá, Colombia). It defends the ed- ucation line the most suitable media for the development of the rural sector in our country. It implies coverage, economic help, orientation to the families and commit- ment of the young to make part of formative processes at professional level in the knowledge field the student selects and on this way to get other life styles for their families inside the framework of a country that promul- gates the right to equality.

What does it mean for education to be a fundamental right, and how may children benefit from it? Surprisingly, even when the right to education was added to the Indian Constitution as Article 21A, this question received barely any attention. This book identifies justiciability (or, more broadly, enforceability) as the most important feature of Article 21A, meaning that children and their parents must be provided with means to effectively claim their right from the state. Otherwise, it would remain a ‘right’ only on paper. The book highlights how lack of access to the Indian judiciary means that the constitutional promise of justiciability is unfulfilled, particularly so because the poor, who cannot afford quality private education for their children, must be the main beneficiaries of the right. It then deals with possible alternative means the state may provide for the poor to claim the benefits under Article 21A, and identifies the grievance redress mechanism created by the Right to Education Act as a potential system of enforcement. Even though this system is found to be deficient, the book concludes with an optimistic outlook, hoping that rights advocates may, in the future, focus on improving such mechanisms for legal empowerment.

Aim: The aim of this study is to offer an overview of the MedicalEmergencies (ME) discipline offer in Dentistry graduations insoutheastern Brazil and to observe the curricular characteristicsof the discipline when present. Methods: This cross-sectionaldocumentary study analyzed the available curricular frameworksin the official websites of Higher Education Institutions (HEI)in southeastern Brazil registered on the Ministry of Education’se-MEC website. The data were analyzed and tabulated using theGraphPad Prism 8.1.2 software, being described by absolute andrelative frequencies. Fisher’s exact test was used to compare theproportions between public and private institutions. Results:Of the 176 courses in the Southeast, 144 were included in thestudy for providing access to the curriculum, 19 (13.19%) werepublic and 125 (86.81%) were private. Only 27 (18.75%) of the HEIpresent the discipline of ME, with a greater tendency of supply inprivate HEIs (20.80%) when compared to public HEIs (5.26%),but this difference was not statistically significant (p> 0.05).As a positive aspect, the discipline is predominantly mandatory(88.88%), and the with regard to the teaching methodology ispredominantly theoretical (68.18%). The average workload is50.14 hours (SD=19.54). Conclusions: In only 18.75% of thedental institutions in Southeast Brazil, ME discipline were offered.When offered, the discipline is predominantly theoretical andmandatory. This study raises an important discussion regardingthe need to include specific and mandatory subjects on ME inthe dentistry curricula in Brazil and reflects the need to updateand standardize the national curricular guidelines for dentistry.

Abstract Background Brazilian strategy to overcome the spread of COVID-19 has been particularly criticized due to the lack of a national coordinating effort and an appropriate testing program. Here, a successful approach to control the spread of COVID-19 transmission is described by the engagement of public (university and governance) and private sectors (hospitals and oil companies) in Macaé, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a city known as the National Oil Capital. Methods Until the 38th epidemiological week, over two percent of the 206,728 citizens were subjected to symptom analysis and massive RT-qPCR testing by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, with positive individuals being notified up to 48 hours after swab collection. Geocodification and spatial cluster analysis were used to limit COVID-19 spreading in Macaé. Findings: Within the first semester after the outbreak of COVID-19 in Brazil, Macaé recorded 1.8% of fatality associated to COVID-19 up to the 38th epidemiological week, which was at least five times lower than the state capital (10.92%). Overall, considering the successful experience of this joint effort of private and public engagement in Macaé, our data suggest that the development of a similar strategy country wise would have saved over 50,000 lives. Interpretation: Quarantine decree by the local government, molecular massive testing coupled to scientific analysis of COVID-19 spreading prevented the catastrophic consequences of the pandemic as seen in other populous cities within the state of Rio de Janeiro and elsewhere in Brazil.
