The Struggle for the Right to Education in the European Convention on Human Rights

This paper addresses two central questions, namely, on what grounds the right to education is justified in the European Convention on Human Rights, and in what terms we can understand the tensions between the right of a child, as a social right, and the right of a parent, as a civil right. I argue that two main reasons served as grounds for a universal right of education; one being the social right of children to free education and the other being to secure an education that was not indoctrinating. In the preparatory work of the article on the right to education the main contests were about who was to protect the child from indoctrination, the state or the parents. I suggest that the contest was not really about education but about the relation between the state and religion, or where to draw the line between the public and the private.
