Through the parliamentary debates we can take into account the political figh- ting between the differents parties on how education should be set up in Spanish democracy. Finally, the Constitution shows a balance between the recognition of right of education and the freedom of education as well. Key words: Constitution, Education policy, House of Representatives.
