Abstract
The right to Education is a fundamental human right, inseparable from people’s aspirations to a full and a wholly authentic democracy. This is why the distinction proposed between the analysis of this right by the so-called human rights approach and the one proposed by the economic development is itself an aberration. This dissociation between the demands of the progress of human rights and those of economic development results from the reduction of the latter to the expansion of markets, which are themselves subjugated to the demands of profitable accumulation of capital.
