Education for Human Rights: One Critical Proposal

Abstract

The author begins by characterizing, in a generic way, the current education, with relevance to the influence that the diverse scales (global, regional, national and local) exert in the educational phenomenon. He also highlights the way in which the school’s institutional matrix has changed in the face of the current challenges. Secondly, a more functional and pragmatic conception of human rights education is presented, and the author then points out the most relevant features of a critical education in human rights, based on other presuppositions, in another normativity. In the end, and in a more didactic way, the author presents the decalogue of a critical education in human rights, which remains radically as a political education.
