THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION AS THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHT

Abstract

The right to education is guaranteed by numerous international legal instruments in the field of human rights. A special subjects of discussion in this paper represent the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which are relevant to the establishment of universal protection of the right to education, as well as its consideration in the light of the provisions of regional instruments for the protection of human rights, both on the European continent, and on the American and African. The establishment of international standards regarding the concept of the right to education contributes to the affirmation of this right, but its real protection depends on the ability of the countries to respond to the set requirements.
