Education As A Human And Family Right: A Latin American Perspective. La Educación Como Un Derecho Humano Y Familiar: Una Perspectiva Desde Latinoamérica.

Abstract

Education is a fundamental human right that should be guaranteed to all regardless of origin, gender, race or social status. In Latin America, this right is particularly important because of the obstacles and inequalities that exist in the population in terms of access to and quality of education. Rights are useless if the majority of people lack the necessary knowledge to access them, to know them, to demand them and to defend them when the government violates them. This article discusses the importance of education as a human right in family life in Latin America, as well as the prospects and challenges that exist in postmodernism.
