Interview with professor Carlos Roberto Jamil Cury: the right to education and education as a right

Abstract

In the interview granted to Revista Educação em Análise, Professor Carlos Roberto Jamil Cury examines central issues related to the right to education in Brazil, from the legal foundations established by the 1988 Constitution to the challenges posed by social and regional inequalities. The discussion includes an analysis of educational policies aimed at promoting citizenship, the relationship between equality and diversity in the school context, the training processes of teachers and researchers, as well as the influence of international organizations on public policy formulation. The interview also addresses the prospects for Brazilian education in light of technological transformations, socioeconomic disparities, and the need for adequate funding to support an educational system committed to quality, equity, and inclusion. Throughout the conversation, Professor Cury reflects on one of the guiding axes of his investigations over the past decades: the right to education and education as a right.
