Teve como objetivo analisar a atuação do Ministério Público na garantia do direito à educação básica, a partir dos estudos sobre judicialização da política/educação e do que é declarado na legislação nacional sobre educação no município citado. Foi realizada uma pesquisa sistemática no acervo da Biblioteca Municipal, na Secretaria Municipal de Educação, no Ministério Público e nos Conselhos Tutelares, bem como a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com atores importantes para este estudo, quais sejam: Conselheiros Tutelares, (ex) secretárias de educação e Promotor da Infância e Juventude do município supracitado. Destaca-se no trabalho ações obtidas na Promotoria oriundas de diferentes esferas, como Defensoria Pública, Conselhos Tutelares e, entre outras, escolas da rede pública municipal e estadual de Juiz de Fora. Embora o tema da evasão escolar tenha surgido, mostra-se evidente a demanda por vagas na educação infantil – um problema que percorreu todo o período estudado (1996-2010). Observa-se ainda que a referida demanda corroborou para uma Ação Civil Púbica impetrada pelo Ministério Público contra a Prefeitura de Juiz de Fora em 1999 e que foi analisada com mais detalhes neste trabalho. Por fim, é possível afirmar quer a atuação da Promotoria da Infância e Juventude não tem sido expressiva no município, abrindo margens, dessa forma, para outros agentes “judicializantes”. / This paper presents the results of a research project that began in March 2009 as part of the Masters of Education Program at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF). The study aimed to analyze the process which prosecutors have utilized in order to attempt to secure the right to basic education in Juiz de Fora. This “judicialization” of education, a major sphere of public policy, is based on what is stated in the national legislation on education. In order to research this “judicialization” process, we performed a systematic search of the archives of relevant government agencies, specifically the Municipal Education Department and the Public Ministry and Guardianship Councils. We also conducted semi-structured interviews with key public officials, specifically the head of Child Protection, (former) municipal Secretaries of Education, and the Attorney for Children and Youth of Juiz de Fora. The research shows that while seeking the universalization of early education, the public prosecutor‟s office represented several different groups. These groups include the Public Defender‟s office, and Guardianship Councils, and public schools (both municipal and state) in Juiz de Fora. Although the issue of truancy has arisen, the research strongly suggests that the demand for access to early childhood education is a problem that has persisted throughout the study period (1996-2010). A lawsuit filed by the public prosecutor against the city of Juiz de Fora in 1999 confirmed that demand for early education outpaced the city‟s ability to supply it. This lawsuit and its results are discussed in depth. Despite the fact that universal access to early education has not been realized, the actions of the Prosecutor for Children and Youth have been significant in the city. They have opened up margins for other players to enter into the “judicialization” process.

[pt] Esta pesquisa qualitativa procurou investigar o que pensam os professores do primeiro segmento do ensino fundamental sobre o direito humano à educação atualmente. Este trabalho traz uma análise histórica do direito à educação dentro dos direitos humanos e de seus dispositivos internacionais. Adentrando o contexto brasileiro, a pesquisa contribuiu com uma evolução histórica deste direito nas Constituições brasileiras e nas legislações pós Constituição de 1988. A pesquisa traz algumas considerações quanto aos temas atuais da justiciabilidade, do ensino doméstico, o homeschooling, e da qualidade e sua relação com as avaliações em larga escala. Como opção metodológica, a empiria da pesquisa contempla entrevistas semiestruturadas com doze professoras do ensino fundamental da rede municipal. Dentre os resultados da pesquisa encontramos que ainda há lacunas quanto ao conteúdo deste direito pelas professoras. A maioria das professoras entrevistadas coloca o Estado e não os professores como primeiro ator na garantia deste direito às crianças. As professoras expressaram preocupação com a garantia de uma a educação de qualidade e trouxeram suas opiniões sobre a política de avaliações em larga escala e também sobre a política implementada pelo Município. Por fim, a pesquisa faz um alerta sobre o perigo de se estabelecer relações entre justiciabilidade,qualidade/avaliações no contexto atual. / [en] This qualitative research aimed at investigating what elementary school teachers think about the human right to education nowadays. This work brings a historical analysis of the right to education in the Human Rights international laws and treaties. As for the Brazilian context, this research brings the right to education and its evolution in our Brazilian Constitutions and laws post Federal Constitution of 1988. We also make some considerations on current themes such as justiciability, homeschooling, educational quality and its relation to the large-scale evaluations. As our methodological choice for the empirical work, we chose to perform twelve semi- structured interviews with teachers from elementary schools. As one of the results, we concluded that there are still some gaps concerning the content for this right among the teachers interviewed. The majority of the teachers placed the State not the teachers, as the first actor with the role to guarantee this right to children. On the other hand, the teachers interviewed expressed their concern about guaranteeing educational quality. They also expressed their opinions about the large-scale evaluation policy and about the policythathas been implemented by the city government. As a final result, this research alerts about the danger to make connections between justiciability and quality / large-scale evaluations in the current context.

TITLE: Inclusive Practice in Education of Refugee Children AUTHOR: Markéta Bačáková DEPARTMENT: Department of Special Education Research in refugee education is currently almost non-existent in the Czech Republic, even though internationally, it represents a topic much researched and debated. Its importance lies within the high vulnerability of persons fleeing their homes due to persecution as well as within the area of human rights enshrined in many international conventions together with the current educational trends, such as the inclusive education. Moreover, international research shows that refugee children provide us with an utmost unique view on the education system. Listening to their voices, therefore, has the potential to help us find new answers for the ever-increasing diversity in school population. The presented doctoral project aims to support the discussion in the area of educational experiences of refugee children in the Czech Republic and simultaneously, to reflect the practice of countries with long experience with international migration. The thesis builds on a case study of a group of resettled Burmese refugees in the Czech Republic and poses the question whether these children and their families have the possibility to fully enjoy the right to education embedded in many...

Thesis (LLD.) -- University of Limpopo, 2021 / The delivery of substandard education to the leaners in South African schools has become a pressing concern and needs special attention. This is so despite the advent of democracy in 1994, which brought legislative frameworks and other measures promoting access to quality education. This study seeks to highlight the importance of a radical paradigm shift in educational approach, from a single (access) to a dual system (access and delivery) in South Africa. The study examines adequacy of access to education, by evaluating the effectiveness of delivery. The study emphasizes that delivery should be strengthened in order to develop skills and capacity. The study also accentuates the need to strengthen legislative measures and compliance, in order to improve the delivery of quality education to the leaners. The domestic laws such as the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Skills Development Act, the South African Schools Act, Further Education and Training Act and the Continuing Education and Training Act, which all cover access and full delivery of quality education, will be examined. It is pertinent to point out that the delivery of quality education and skills development, can improve the employability of leaners and graduates, wherever they find themselves. Consequently, it is fundamentally important to increase interest in strengthening the implementation of the skills development legislation and policies, to drive the necessary change from access to delivery, in order to meet the developmental needs of the country. Lessons are drawn from China, Finland and Singapore, where policies and laws are utilized for the purpose of comparative studies. The rationale for such a comparative analysis is premised on the fact that these countries have very strong educational systems, which promotes the employability of learners, and also enables learners to become self-reliant and entrepreneurs. / National Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIHSS) and South African Humanities Deans Association (SAHUDA)

The emergence and importance of human rights are rarely discussed without the discussion in some way also touching on the impact that various popular movements or social resistance have had on the manifestation of rights claims. This thesis focus in particular on the development in recent times in Afghanistan since the Taliban's takeover of power in August 2021. For the women and girls in Afghanistan the Taliban’s new power meant a return from 20 years of developed opportunities and recognized human rights, which can be directly derived to the rights and non-discrimination of women declared in the UN Women's Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). This thesis will primarily deal with Amnesty International's report Death in Slow Motion: Women and girls under Taliban rule, which consists of a 100-page report, including testimonies, that describes the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan one year after the Taliban took gained power in August 2021. The analytical discussion of this thesis is based on a critical theoretical framework built on the concepts of performative practice, weapons of the weak, translation and ontological disturbance. The operationalization of the theoretical framework of this thesis is done with the help of a critical discourse analysis (CDA). The analytical discussion and conclusions of this thesis establish that Afghan women's and girls' current, every day or small-scale acts of resistance in order to assert their rights, demands for belonging, equality and freedom take varying forms and that these approaches move dynamically between the public and private spheres of society. In many ways, the resistance takes place beyond the Taliban's supervision and despite the risks that the acts of resistance entail, the actions of the Afghan women and girls contribute to manifesting and strengthening their rights claims and highlighting their capacity for agency and freedom of action. This thesis mainly highlights how these acts of resistance and agents can open up conditions for women and girls in Afghanistan to form communities and solidarity belonging within a social and political arena that has come to place them on the periphery.

Thesis (masters)--University of South Africa, 2001.

Education is since the inception of the world regarded as the formal process by which society conveys its accumulated knowledge, skills, customs and values from one generation to another. Today, education is a human right and the right to education and specifically the right to (a) basic education is acknowledged and emphasised worldwide. In South Africa, the right to a basic education is entrenched in the Constitution and is regarded as one of the most crucial constitutional rights, particularly because it promotes economical and social well-being. The protection of a child’s right to a basic education in terms of the South African Constitution together with the most important international instruments pertaining to education will be extensively discussed and the most important similarities and differences between, and challenges in the legal systems of South Africa, New Zealand and Namibia regarding a child’s right to (a) basic education will be addressed with due consideration of factors such as early childhood development and education, mother tongue education and HIV/AIDS which may affect a child’s right to (a) basic education. It is submitted that the success of any country, whether it is social, financial or economic success, depends on how its citizens are educated. Moreover, a good education system is crucial, not only for ensuring that its populace are well educated, but also for optimal human development and for the maintenance and preservation of socially responsive economic and political systems. Education is a life-long process and in order to give effect to the right to (a) basic education, the adoption and implementation of the recommendations made throughout this study are proposed. / Private Law / LL.D.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo estudar a construção do direito à educação no município de Santo André, nas décadas de 50 a 70 do século XX, a partir da análise dos orçamentos municipais do período abordado. Por considerar fundamental a perspectiva histórica para a construção e implementação da política pública, a pesquisa resgata a organização da rede pública de ensino municipal e avalia os mecanismos que foram construídos pelo Poder Público a fim de garantir o direito à educação, principalmente no que diz respeito ao direito aos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental (antigo ensino primário). Com as referências sendo as legislações da época assim como o trabalho realizado por João Correa Mascaro (1958) relativo às análises dos orçamentos públicos dos municípios paulistas no período estudado, este estudo analisa os orçamentos do município de Santo André, compondo séries históricas de dados, obtidos por meio de um levantamento minucioso, com foco prioritariamente nas previsões orçamentárias das despesas públicas com educação. Uma das problematizações feitas nesse estudo refere-se ao regime de colaboração entre as esferas municipal e estadual, no cumprimento da escolaridade obrigatória, a partir da Constituição Federal de 1946. Constata-se que mesmo antes da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação, de nº 5.692 de 11/08/1971, a qual previa a progressiva passagem da responsabilidade municipal com os encargos e serviços de educação, principalmente os referentes ao Ensino Fundamental, antigo 1º grau, o município já se comprometia com o atendimento escolar nos mais diversos níveis. Verifica-se, também, o total de recursos financeiros aplicados na manutenção e desenvolvimento do ensino, analisando as condições para a efetividade do direito à educação, nesse momento da história local, cujas transformações econômicas trouxeram um grande número de trabalhadores para a implantação da indústria multinacional na região. Assim, o estudo das leis orçamentárias, contextualizadas pela análise do conjunto de leis municipais e de outras fontes históricas, permitiu compreender, dentre outros aspectos, as concepções vigentes de educação pelo Poder Público local e sua progressiva organização burocrática como aparelho de Estado, tornando mais complexo no decorrer do período em questão. O presente texto aprofunda parte dos achados da Pesquisa \"O Direto à Educação Básica - estudo da demanda social e do atendimento público em uma micro região urbana\" a qual estudou os fenômenos que afetam a garantia efetiva do acesso e permanência das crianças, jovens e adultos em nove escolas da cidade de Santo André, uma vez que estas escolas foram instaladas no período considerado por este trabalho. / These search aims to study the construction of the right to education in the city of Santo André, in the decades from 50 to 70 of the twentieth century, from the analysis of the municipal budgets of the period approached. For a historical perspective consider essential for the construction and implementation of public policy, the search recover the organization of public education, municipal and assesses the mechanisms that were built by the Public Power to ensure the right to education, particularly as regards the right to the early years of elementary school (formerly primary education). With the references and the laws of the time as well as the work done by John Correa Mascaro (1958) on the analysis of public budgets of municipalities Sao Paulo in the period studied, this study examines the budgets of the municipality of Santo André, composing historical series of data, obtained through a thorough survey, focusing primarily on budgetary estimates of public expenditure on education. One of the problems made in this study refers to the system of cooperation between the municipal and state spheres, in the fulfilment of compulsory education from the Federal Constitution of 1946. It appears that even before the Law and Guidelines for Basic Education, No 5.692, 11/08/1971, which foresaw a gradual transition of responsibility with municipal charges and services of education, particularly those for elementary school, former 1 st degree, the council already was committed to the school attendance on the widest levels. There is also the total of financial resources applied in the maintenance and development of education, examining the conditions for the effectiveness of the right to education at that time local history, whose economic transformations brought a large number of workers for the deployment of industry multinational in the region. Thus, the study of budgetary laws, contextualized by analysis of the set of municipal laws and other historical sources, enabled understand, among other things, the existing conceptions of education through local Public Power and its progressive organization as bureaucratic apparatus of state, making it more complex during the period in question. This text deepens part of the findings of the Survey \"The Right to Basic Education - study of the demand social and public service in a micro urban area\" which studied the phenomena that affect the guarantee of effective access and permanence of children, young people and adults in nine schools in the city of Santo André, as these schools were installed in the period considered for these search.

A Constituição Federal brasileira estipula um conjunto de princípios a serem realizados na educação escolar, dentre eles a garantia de padrão de qualidade. A Tese se propõe a analisar o sentido de tal previsão quanto à educação básica e a estabelecer um marco conceitual para o seu conteúdo normativo. Nossa premissa é que vivenciamos no Brasil um forte impulso à regulação jurídica da qualidade da educação básica e que esse movimento tem como base a crescente complexidade das ferramentas que o direito disponibiliza para a mudança social. Ao mesmo tempo, carecemos de um marco conceitual ampliado para a análise dessa questão jurídica. Inicialmente, articulamos algumas proposições básicas do Estado social à teoria dos direitos fundamentais e ao fenômeno da juridificação no campo da educação escolar, com o objetivo de compreender a relação entre modelos de juridificação e concepções político-pedagógicas de qualidade do ensino. No segundo capítulo, o enfoque analítico a partir da teoria dos direitos fundamentais como princípios é a base para uma proposição normativa geral sobre o conteúdo ampliado do direito à qualidade do ensino. Nossa proposição básica, nesse ponto, é que o princípio estudado visa proteger a máxima qualidade do ensino em função das condições fáticas e jurídicas que se apresentem em determinado contexto. Estudamos então, no capítulo seguinte, o conteúdo jurídico do direito humano à educação, daí extraindo as obrigações do Estado quanto à sua realização e o seu conteúdo normativo geral. Nos últimos capítulos, propomos que os componentes do direito à qualidade da educação básica sejam definidos a partir do enfoque de direitos humanos educacionais, incluindo as dimensões de proteção relacionadas às características dos alunos, ao ambiente escolar, às condições de infraestrutura e insumos básicos, aos conteúdos, aos processos educacionais relevantes, aos resultados e ao financiamento público. Cada uma dessas dimensões deve ter como objetivo a plena realização, com o máximo de recursos disponíveis. Devem ser juridicamente protegidas, observando-se a necessária modulação quanto ao tipo de juridificação que mais se adequa ao paradigma de direitos humanos. Devem ainda compor um sistema amplo de indicadores de realização, que venha a substituir os enfoques reducionistas que sobrevalorizam resultados padronizados em detrimento dos demais elementos / The Brazilian federal Constitution stipulates an ensemble of principles to be realized in the education sector (or in school education), the guarantee of a standard of quality being one of them. The thesis analyses the meaning of this constitutional provision Regarding compulsory basic education and establishes a conceptual framework for its normative content. The thesis premise is that Brazil experiences a strong legal regulatory impulse regarding the quality of compulsory basic education and that its base s go back to the increasing complexity of the tools law provides for social change. Meanwhile, we lack a conceptual framework applied to the analyses of this legal issue. Initially, this thesis articulates some basic propositions from the welfare state to the theory of fundamental rights and the phenomenon of juridification in the field education sector. The goal is to understand the relationship between the models of juridification and political and pedagogical concepts of quality in education. In the second chapter, the analytical focus based on the theory of fundamental rights as principles is the basis for a general normative proposition about the amplified content of the right to quality in education. Our basic contention is that this principle aims to protect the maximum quality of education according to factual and juridical conditions of a given context. The following chapter presents the juridical content of the human right to education, extracting the content of States obligation to realize this right and its basic normative content. In the last chapter, the thesis argues that the components of the right to quality compulsory basic education have to be defined from educational human rights, including the protective dimensions related to students personal characteristics, the schools environment, infrastructural conditions and basic inputs, contents, relevant educational processes, results and public funding. Each one of these dimensions must have the full realization of education as a goal with the maximum use of the resources available. Each dimension must be legally protected observing the necessary adjustment to the type of juridical regulation that is more adequate to the paradigm of human rights. Moreover, [the dimensions] must part of a wide range system of indicators that measure levels of your realization that will substitute reductionist views that overvalue standardized results to the detriment of other elements.

A crescente relevância do debate sobre a avaliação da educação infantil no Brasil, a formulação de proposições elaboradas pelo governo federal e por governos municipais, além das esboçadas por instituições da sociedade civil, motivaram-nos a desenvolver o presente estudo, de caráter qualitativo e exploratório, com o objetivo de analisar iniciativas implementadas por municípios brasileiros, especialmente por municípios paulistas, tendo como finalidade evidenciar suas potencialidades para contribuir com a garantia do direito das crianças a uma educação infantil pública e de qualidade. O estudo foi desenvolvido em três etapas que se inter-relacionam: a) levantamento e análise do arcabouço legal, que inclui a legislação e os documentos que tratam de diferentes aspectos da educação infantil, publicados e/ou apoiados pelo Ministério da Educação; de produção acadêmica nacional que discute a qualidade da oferta e do atendimento em creches e pré-escolas; de experiências estrangeiras de avaliação da etapa; b) sistematização de dados sobre iniciativas de avaliação da educação infantil conduzidas por municípios brasileiros; c) levantamento, caracterização e análise de propostas vigentes em municípios do estado de São Paulo. O exame dessas referências subsidiou o estabelecimento de elementos balizadores para a elaboração de indicadores concernentes a características consideradas relevantes para a formulação de avaliações voltadas para a educação infantil. Com base nesses elementos, foi realizada a análise de iniciativas em curso em 42 municípios paulistas. Os resultados indicam a preponderância de desenhos avaliativos com foco no desenvolvimento e/ou aprendizagem das crianças. Quanto às iniciativas voltadas para a pré-escola, verificou-se que, usualmente, são elaboradas pelo órgão central e tendem a enfatizar a avaliação de habilidades de leitura e escrita com vistas a aferir o nível de aprendizagem das crianças. No entanto, identificou-se uma diversidade nas proposições, em especial quanto à participação dos estabelecimentos educacionais e da secretaria de educação na concepção e condução das avaliações. Além do foco na avaliação das crianças, foram identificadas iniciativas que abrangem outras dimensões na avaliação da etapa e que adotam processos de autoavaliação institucional combinados com iniciativas de avaliação externa. Estas proposições são as que parecem caminhar na direção da garantia do direito à educação das crianças pequenas. / The growing relevance of debate on Early Childhood Education evaluation in Brazil, the resulting formulation of proposals elaborated by the federal government and municipal governments, in addition to those outlined by civil society institutions, motivated us to develop the present study of qualitative and exploratory character, with the objective of analyzing initiatives implemented by Brazilian municipalities, especially by municipalities in the state of São Paulo, with the purpose of highlighting their potential to contribute to the guarantee of the right of children to a quality public education. The study was developed in three interrelated stages: a) survey and analysis of the legal framework, which includes legislation and documents dealing with different aspects of early childhood education, published and/or supported by the Ministry of Education; Of the national academic production that discusses the quality of the services provided in kindergartens and preschools; Of foreign evaluation experiences of this educational stage; b) systematization of data on initiatives to Early Childhood Education evaluation conducted by Brazilian municipalities; c) survey, characterization and analysis of proposals in force in municipalities of the state of São Paulo. The examination of these references subsidized the establishment of benchmarks elements for the elaboration of indicators concerning characteristics considered relevant for the formulation of evaluations aimed at the Early Childhood Education. Based on these criteria, the analysis of ongoing initiatives was carried out in 42 municipalities of the state of São Paulo. The results indicate the preponderance of evaluative designs with a focus on children\'s development and learning. As for evaluation initiatives of preschool, it has been found that they are usually elaborated by the central department of education and tend to emphasize the evaluation of reading and writing skills in order to evaluate the childrens learning process. However, a diversity in the proposals was identified, especially regarding the participation of educational establishments and the education department in the design and conduction of evaluations. In addition to the focus on evaluating children, initiatives have been identified that encompass other dimensions in the evaluation of the stage and that adopt processes of institutional self-evaluation combined with external evaluation initiatives. These propositions are those which seem to be moving towards ensuring the right to education of young children.
