What is a right to education?
by Thomas Mc Donagh
International Journal of Sustainable Society (IJSSOC), Vol. 13, No. 4, 2021

Abstract: This article will examine the nature and scope of a right to education and will compare and contrast international and domestic education rights provisions and will make a comparative analysis of the application and utility of such rights in the UK, Ireland, the USA, UAE and developing countries. It will argue that a right to education is a fundamental human right upon which the sustainability of any society depends. Finally, it will argue that education rights provisions alone will not of themselves be sufficient to achieve educational, social and economic sustainability and advancement without the necessary political, judicial, societal and financial support to enable such rights, in whatever form they are set down, to foster, support and direct educational provision, participation and attainment.
