The aim of this contribution is first of all to highlight how the children’s right to education has found, since the second half of the last century, wide recognition at an international level both in human rights decla rations and treaties of general scope, and in acts specifically dedicated to children’s rights (as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989). After a brief mention of the importance of the right to education in the anglo-saxon debate on theories of rights, I will focus on the main stag es that led to its constitutionalization in the Italian legal system. Despite the important progress recorded in the field of this right’s protection in recent decades, I will then argue how the well-known data on “educational poverty” in the world are yet another testimony that human rights are achievements that cannot be taken for granted.

Abstract
The aim of this contribution is first of all to highlight how the children’s right to education has found, since the second half of the last century, wide recognition at an international level both in human rights decla rations and treaties of general scope, and in acts specifically dedicated to children’s rights (as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989). After a brief mention of the importance of the right to education in the anglo-saxon debate on theories of rights, I will focus on the main stag es that led to its constitutionalization in the Italian legal system. Despite the important progress recorded in the field of this right’s protection in recent decades, I will then argue how the well-known data on “educational poverty” in the world are yet another testimony that human rights are achievements that cannot be taken for granted.
