Abstract

The right to education is enshrined in international law and its fulfillment appears every day as a citizen demand. In general, the States recognize the right to education when they signed the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Social and Cultural Rights in which it is materialized in a concrete reality that must be expressed in education itself. It is necessary to understand that education is the result of a non-democratic model imposed by a dictatorship, the purpose of which was to protect capital, with which everything remained a prisoner of a neoliberal conception. Of course, education is a necessity both individually and collectively, so that efforts for quality higher education are necessarily related to the democratization of societies. Finding such an answer is everyone's task and this forces the analysis of laws and behaviors.
