Abstract:
The right to education is one of the fundamental human rights,
enjoying today a universal recognition, both in international and
regional conventions, as well as in the constitutions of modern
states. The proof to this serves the fact that the most widespread
provision is the right to education, which is contained in the
constitutions of 43 Council of Europe Member States [1, §85].
The fundamental nature of this right stems also from its inherent
connection to human dignity [2, p.127]. Despite the fact it does
not have a long history as a fundamental material right in the
Republic of Moldova, the concern for education, as we can easily
see, was incorporated at constitutional level in 1994, by adopting
the Moldovan Constitution. We tend to believe that the Protocol
no. 1 to the European Convention on Human Rights has served
as an impetus to this.
