| Summary: | As Education is a right and a duty that the State must offer free of charge, it is the State’s responsibility to guarantee that everyone receives it, at least at the basic level. However, in the Government’s exercising of the educational competences that pertain to it by law, the new subject matter of Education for Citizenship has been configured in Spain in the regulations as the instrument of a far-reaching ideological and cultural project that imposes a common ethics deriving from positive law that goes beyond constitutional values and human rights. In this case a conflict is posed between obligatory compliance with the law and the necessary defence and protection of the fundamental rights of ideological and religious freedom as well as of freedom of conscience, and the right of parents to decide how their children should be educated morally in line with their own convictions, as limits to the educational action of the public authorities. Configurada la educación como un derecho y un deber que el Estado debe prestar de forma gratuita, es responsabilidad de éste garantizar la efectividad del derecho de todos a recibirla, al menos en su etapa básica. Pero en el ejercicio de las competencias educativas que la ley otorga al Gobierno, la nueva materia de EpC ha sido configurada normativamente en España como instrumento de un imbricado proyecto ideológico y cultural de amplio alcance, que impone una ética común que deriva de la ley positiva, más allá de los valores constitucionales y los derechos humanos. Se plantea en este caso un conflicto entre el obligado sometimiento a la ley, y la necesaria defensa y protección de los derechos fundamentales a la libertad ideológica, religiosa y de conciencia, y el derecho de los padres a decidir la formación moral de sus hijos conforme a sus convicciones, como límites a la acción educativa de los poderes públicos. |
