Compliance, pelo Brasil, do direito à educação básica protegido pela Convenção sobre os Direitos da Criança

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze Brazil's compliance with the right to basic education protected by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, understanding to what extent the Brazilian State, as a signatory, has taken such normative provisions into consideration in a practical way. The methodology used in the research has a descriptive focus and was based mainly on bibliographic and documentary research. By examining Brazil's compliance with the right to education, the study concluded that there is still a long way to go in its alignment with the objectives outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, when we consider the questions established by the Committee regarding the need to eradicate illiteracy, reduce inequality, increase investments, and especially training for citizenship and respect for human rights.
