Ulusal ve Uluslararası Belgelerde Eğitim Hakkının Yasal Dayanakları

Abstract

Education is a multidimensional social institution that is continuous and open to all citizens, starting from before school, including periods after school and after school, is an obligation of the state and a human right in our age. This perspective, which is gradually expanding the framework of education, requires that education be considered in economic, social and cultural realities in societies. Despite the opinions of thinkers such as Comenius, Locke, Rousseau, the main activities in education have been philosophical and methodological, while legal concerns have remained in the secondary plan. As a result of this situation, the individual's right to education has not been provided with a legal basis for a long period of time. The main goal of the United Nations, which was established after the Second World War in the international arena, is to develop universal respect for human rights and freedoms as a principle. The right to education, which is included in the fundamental rights in this process, has been regulated in some UN and Council of Europe documents, especially the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. Human rights and the right to education, which are guaranteed by international conventions, have also been protected by some legal regulations within the national legal system. The fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens in Turkey are regulated through the Constitution and laws. In addition, with the relevant legislation, a framework has been established for how these rights and obligations can be used.
