The Right to Free Education: Conditions, and Restrictions of The Government

Abstract

Education not only plays a fundamental role in the development and progress of societies, but it also crucially improves the quality of life for individuals and develops their potential. The lack of education is considered a significant threat to a person's inherent dignity, and as such, access to education is widely regarded as a human right by scholars. National documents around the world reflect the importance of education, and in Iran, the government is obligated to provide free education at all levels and facilitate and expand higher education for all, according to the third clause of the third principle and the thirtieth principle of the Constitution. The results of this study demonstrate that the existence of laws is a crucial factor in guaranteeing rights, and public order is one of the tools that restrict individual freedoms. This study applies a descriptive-analytical method based on library studies that collected and analyzed data to investigate the conditions for implementing the right to education, the restrictions and supports of governments in responding to questions such as: What are the conditions for implementing the right to education? What are the limitations in realizing the right to education? And how will the government support the right to education? Effective solutions for removing obstacles and realizing the right to education for all segments of society have been proposed based on the results of this study, including special attention to primary education, development of schools in rural areas to prevent dropouts due to lack of higher education opportunities, enactment of necessary laws regarding individuals who prevent children from attending school, and adaptation of educational content to the needs of society.
