The present work presents results from bibliographical and documentary research. For research purposes it is considered necessary to understand how the relationship between Covid-19 and education is configured, reflecting on its consequences and possible ways to solve the post-pandemic problem; Locate the relationship between Covid-19 and education according to the inequalities presented in the pandemic period; Identify the relevance of fulfilling the right to education in the pandemic period according to documents that offer this guarantee fully, as well as analyzing the inequalities in the pandemic period between public and private education. This is a bibliographic and documentary study in relation to the design of methodological procedures.

This book focuses on the relationship between private and public education in a comparative context. The contributors emphasize the relationship between private choices and public policy as they affect the division of labor between public and private non-profit schools, colleges, and universities. Their essays examine the kinds of choices offered by each sector, as well as the effects of present and proposed public policies on the intersectoral division of labor. Written from neither a pro-private nor a pro-public point of view, the contributors point to the ways in which they believe one sector or the other may be preferable for certain goals or groups.

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.

The article presents the realization of the right to education, as set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in the Republic of Slovenia. At the outset, attention is drawn to the special status of the right to education, which is not only the right of children, but also adults. Moreover, the right to education is closely linked to the realization of all other rights. This article presents a general overview of the implementation of rights according to Articles 28 and 29 of the Convention. Then it outlines the problems with the implementation of the Convention in selected areas. The main points are related to the education of Roma children, the quality of knowledge, private education. The complexity of the problem of the realization of the rights of Romani children to education has been repeatedly pointed out in international RS reports on the implementation of the Convention. It is not so obvious, however, that the quality of the knowledge received by students in schools is also an aspect that should be considered from the perspective of the Convention. This article analyses the regulation of private schools: this is the area of education in Slovenia where the biggest normative and factual change has occurred in the period after the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The analysis shows that the arrangement is such that it satisfies the requirements set forth in the Convention.

The study begins with a critical examination of two opposing, theories of nationalism. Next, the relationship between the State and nationalism in the form of the nation state is seen as a process of social formation during which a compromise is established between public and private elites, and the people: loyalty is exchanged for the right to participate in social rights. In the third part, the author considers the future of a number of Southern states in relation to the fundamentals of nation formation.

This chapter discusses two human rights that belong to the category of economic, social, and cultural rights: the right to education and the right to work. It explains how the modern view of the nature of economic, social, and cultural rights can be applied to these rights. The chapter discusses the sources of the rights under international human rights law, their main features, and components; the obligations resulting from each right; and the relationship of each right with other human rights. Both rights are crucial for the ability to live a life in dignity and develop one’s personality.

This paper aims to discuss recent changes in Portugal’s education policy. Portugal offers an interesting scenario to study the different ways the economic crisis has brought new opportunities to strengthen the privatization agenda. We specifically focus on media coverage and the contractualization of education services with private schools through ‘association contracts’. In the 1980s the Portuguese State through these contracts financed private schools to operate in areas where the public offering was insufficient, thereby ensuring the public access to education and preventing marginalization. Nowadays, however, these contracts are seen as an ideological banner both for and against education privatization. We present an empirical study based on documental analysis of 180 news articles published in the Portuguese media on the changes in the contractualization of education services. The results show two main audiences sustaining distinct societal projects, comprised of a variety of actors, who are either for or against ‘association contracts’. The actors justify their positions based on their understanding of the State’s role in providing education, the policies involving the right to education and decreasing inequalities.

The article discusses the relationship of bilingual education with the problems of ethnic and language identification in the USSR and modern Russia. The concept of protecting the rights of national minorities includes an extensive range of linguistic rights and the right to education in minority languages. This right is protected by many international agreements and documents of international organizations and is considered to be an unconditional conquest of fighters for human rights. However, this ignores cases of inconsistencies in ethnic and linguistic identity, which are increasingly frequent in the modern world, and the right of citizens to free ethnic and linguistic self-determination. Planning in the field of bilingual education and teacher training requires objective information on the real number of people willing to study in minority languages, which can be obtained as a result of language monitoring and censuses.

FALSEAMENTO DA REALIDADE DO DIREITO UNIVERSAL À EDUCAÇÃO DISTORTION OF THE REALITY OF THE UNIVERSAL RIGHT TO EDUCATION Anário Dornelles Rocha Junior* RESUMO: A pesquisa compreende analisar os preceitos ideológicos inseridos nos marcos reguladores da educação apresentados sob a forma de direito universal da pessoa e da coletividade humana e o tipo de educação que está sendo aplicado na realidade, alinhados aos pressupostos liberais derivados dos instrumentos jurídicos, sob o fim de auxiliar os estudos acerca do direito, educação, ideologia e, tem, como objetivo: a) compreender o caráter ideológico presente na educação como garantia universal; b) verificar os meios utilizados pelo Estado para disseminar sua visão de mundo acerca do direito a educação. Os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados referem-se à pesquisa qualitativa documental, com caráter exploratório, visando identificar os condicionantes legais e seus efeitos na educação, especificamente na prática pedagógica e o conceito de Ideologia, no Direito, no Estado e na Educação. As análises documentais da ideologia presente na educação são evidentes na legislação sob a vertente das Leis de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação, especificamente a lei 9.394/96; e na Constituição Federal de 1988. A base teórica de análises da realidade parte dos pressupostos de ideologia em diferentes autores como Marx (1998), Lowy (2003) e Duarte (2008). Conclui-se que a legislação educacional induz um sentido de educação nos diferentes momentos históricos, privilegiando a ação de controle, coerção, repressão e submissão a ordem estabelecida. Neste sentido o destino do aluno, via ato educativo, está impregnado de certa visão de mundo quanto ao que seja seu direito à educação universal formal/material e o direito do outro, tendo em vista os diferentes sujeitos numa dada sociedade. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Direito universal à educação. Educação e Ideologia. Legislação e Ideologia. Estado. ABSTRACT: The research comprises analyzing the ideological precepts inserted in the regulatory frameworks of education presented in the form of universal right of the person and the human collectivity and the kind of education that is being applied in reality, aligned to liberal assumptions derived from legal instruments, in order to assist the studies about law, education, ideology, and has, as its objective: a) to comprehend the ideological character that prevails in the education as universal guarantee; b) to verify the methods used by the State to disseminate its worldview about the right to education. The methodological procedures resorted refer to documental qualitative research with exploratory character, aiming to identify the legal determinants and its effects on education, specifically on the pedagogical practice and the concept of Ideology in Law, State, and Education. The documental analysis of the ideology that prevails in education is evident in the legislation under the aspect of the Laws of Guidelines and Bases of the Education, specifically the law 9394/96; and the Federal Constitution of 1988. The theoretical basis of analysis of the reality is founded on assumptions of ideology of different authors such as Marx (1998), Lowy (2003), and Duarte (2008). It is concluded that the education laws induce a sense of education in different historical moments, favoring the action of control, coercion, repression and submission to the established order. In this sense the fate of the student, through the educational act, is redolent of a certain worldview regarding what is his procedural/substantive right to universal education and the right of the other, considering the different subjects in a particular society. KEYWORDS: Universal Right to Education.
