Education is widely recognized as a fundamental human right, yet
the nature of the right remains unclear. Is it an entitlement to go
to school, to acquire particular forms of knowledge or develop
particular skills or attributes? And why exactly is education so
important that we might defend all people's right to it? This book
provides a much-needed exploration of this key contemporary issue.
Highlighting limitations in the approaches of both the Education
for All initiative and existing international law, the book
presents a radical new vision of how the right can be understood.
As well as basic education, there are discussions of higher and
lifelong education, of human rights education, and of the
intersection of rights-based approaches with others such Amartya
Sen's 'capabilities'. The work serves as a stirring defense of the
universal right to education against instrumental conceptions of
learning, the inactivity of national governments and the abrogation
of responsibility of the international community.
