Education: Is it really a fundamental right in private schools?

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to contribute to the empowerment of social learning about the fundamental right to education of children and adolescents (NNA). It begins with the discernment of the significance of this right, through the application of the pronouncements of the  Constitutional Court and Colombian regulations, to then analyze its impact due to the impossibility of payment, on the part of the parents or  guardians of private schools.

The above is reviewed in light of a qualitative research design, of a documentary (legal) type; to delve into the chronology of analysis from the dialogue of two disciplines (Law and Social Work). It should be noted that the bibliographic references (norms, rulings and documents) are a representative sample; Furthermore, the collection instrument is the bibliographic record. In turn, the analysis of the information is done based  in the content. It is concluded that the non-application of the  pronouncements of the Constitutional Court generates a gap between what is legally stipulated and the fundamental right to education of children and adolescents in Colombia, due to the payment agreements established for parents or guardians, including pressure methods such as the retention of documentation by Private Schools.
