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 communityComparative educationHuman rightsStudy and teachingRight to educationMoral & social purpose of educationComparative education.Human rightsStudy and teaching.Right to education.379.2/6McCowan Tristan1974-1065058UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910811637503321Education as a human right3955929UNINA
