Abstract
The right to education was conceived to be, according to the authors of the proposal of the Bill of Rights from 1991, one of the social rights that is comparable to the right to medical care. The present article rejects such a comparison.
Education as such is not restricted to one of the public services provided by the government, it deserves to be taken as an open door for the emancipative trajectories of an individual. During the last decenies education has been reduced to the defense :f the access to education through different frameworks as offered by the public or private schools, "he purpose of educating was reduced to providing knowledge, experience, skills and competen-:es.
There seems to be litle effort put on the etics of knowledge. Some critical remarks are made as .'or as the entrepreneurial nature of private schools.
There remains to be seen, however, to what extend the curricula of the private schools will contribute to the balanced education both in sciences and humanities.
