Abstract

The right to education has been recognized as a human right in a number of international conventions, among which the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, crucial to ensure the dignity of all individuals. It encompasses the obligation to eliminate discrimination at all levels of the educational system, including the university system. The right to study is also provided by Article 34 of the Italian Constitution, in the framework of the fundamental constitutional principles, constitutional judgments and State and Regional legislation.
