La educación como derecho social, humano y fundamental: principios y perspectivas de la educación moderna

Abstract

This article discusses the meaning of the right to education in contemporary society. Education is defined as a set of activities (or processes) that aim the formation of the human being and, fundamentally, as a human, fundamental and social right enshrined in the Brazilian Federal Constitution. Therefore, we approach a problem that involves the traditional conception of education and its theoretical and practical limits in the resolution of social, legal and moral problems present in contemporary societies.
