Educational law is an integral area of legal knowledge that has become firmly established in pedagogical and legal practice. This is one of the human rights and interests that is regulated by law.
Fundamental human right and academic discipline
Education is a purposeful process of educating and educating a citizen in the interests of the state. Educational law is also a subject discipline that is part of the curriculum of a law school. The right to education is enshrined in Art. 43 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation as an element of the system of human rights and freedoms.
It should be said that educational law is a fairly young branch of jurisprudence. They started talking about it in the 1990s, when the problem of modernizing the educational process in Russia was ripe. The origins of educational law in Russia are not only its own traditions in the field of education, but also international concepts. For example, when drafting their own acts and agreements, Russian lawyers relied on the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention on Discrimination in Education, etc.
Educational principles
Educational law has a set of provisions and principles within its scope. The state policy in the field of education is based on the following postulates:
- humanistic, which assumes that universal human values, health, personal development are in priority;
- the unity of the federal cultural and regional spaces. This principle is based on the preservation of national cultures in a multinational state;
- the general availability of education is one of the main principles of educational law;
- secular education;
- democratic governance in the education sector;
- free of charge for all types of education;
- compulsory basic general education.
The value of educational law lies in the support that science can provide in the implementation of rule-making and law enforcement activities. The scientific principle is a necessary condition for the effectiveness of education management and the effectiveness of the state educational policy. Educational law as a branch of legal law is designed to facilitate educational reform in Russia. In addition, on its basis, the personnel structure of employees of educational institutions should be formed. The state policy is aimed at tightening control over the observance of legislation in the field of education.
Thus, the term "educational law" has thoroughly entered the branch of legal and pedagogical science.
