Constitutional Values and Global Justice in Education

Abstract

Education is a fundamental right and a cornerstone for fostering equality, justice, and democracy. This research paper explores the intersection of constitutional values and global justice in education, examining how democratic principles shape educational policies and how education can serve as a vehicle for promoting justice on a global scale. The paper analyzes various national and international frameworks, including the Indian Constitution, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to highlight their role in ensuring equitable and inclusive education for all. It discusses the importance of constitutional mandates in providing free and compulsory education, eliminating discrimination, and promoting social justice. Additionally, the study delves into global initiatives aimed at achieving educational equity, addressing challenges such as socioeconomic disparities, digital divides, and gender-based discrimination. By examining case studies and policies from different countries, the paper underscores how constitutional values can drive educational reforms that contribute to a fair and just society. The findings suggest that aligning national education policies with global justice principles is crucial for fostering an inclusive and democratic world. The research concludes by recommending strategies to strengthen policy frameworks and international collaborations to ensure that education remains a powerful instrument for justice and human rights worldwide.
