Constituent, financing and right to education: the protagonists’ voice

ABSTRACT:

From the voices of the constituent process’ protagonists - those of parliamentarians’ speeches in plenary and public hearings of the Subcommittee on Education, Culture and Sports and the civil society representatives who attended these hearings, this work rescues the discussion process that led to the education chapter of the 1988 Constitution. This chapter has brought significant institutional advances in the juridical-constitutional outline by enshrining the right to education and establishing the pillars of its funding policy.

Keywords:
Right to education; Maintenance and development of education; “Salário-educação” (compulsory companies’ payroll-based contribution to education)
