MCCOWAN, Tristan. Is there a universal right to higher education?. J. Pol. Educ-s [online]. 2020, vol.14, e71196. Epub 20-Abr-2022. ISSN 1981-1969. https://doi.org/10.5380/jpe.v14i0.71196.
Opposition to university fees is often framed as a defence of higher education as a ‘right’ rather than a ‘privilege’. However, the basis and nature of this right is unclear. This article presents a conceptual exploration of the question, drawing on an initial analysis of international law. An argument is put forward for a right to higher education seen as one of a number of possible forms of post-school education, restricted only by a requirement for a minimum level of academic preparation.
