Equality of opportunity in education 2011, para. 68
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
In 1997, the Constitutional Court of Colombia ruled that by excluding pupils on an economic basis, schools violate their right to education. The Constitutional Court of South Africa held that “affirmative action in education, which would give preference to previously disadvantaged persons to gain admission (to university), is allowed by section 9(2) of the Constitution.” Other rulings from the same court in South Africa also protect the right to education and language rights.
