On The Right of Education in Latin America. Notes for an urgent discussion

Abstract

There are profound weaknesses in the neoliberal model to implement the right to education effectively, particularly in relation to the concept of education as a social right; that is, as a common good to which all of us have the right to have access to by being members of society, and by way of the State being an entity of securing our rights. This work intends to point out those limitations based on a historical analysis of the processes, circumstances and attitudes that led to the construction of the right to education in Latin America. It will also look into those factors contributing to international law, the economic development model and those factors appearing to erase our fundamental principles.
