Justiciability of the right to education 2013, para. 64
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Excluding pupils from schools on only an economic basis violates their enjoyment of the right to education, as the Constitutional Court of Colombia ruled in 1997. The Court also ruled that, because of the fundamental character of the right to education, private schools are bound by specific obligations. These concern their disciplinary powers and their capacity to terminate contractual relations with students or their parents.
