Accesibilidad educativa y movilidad humana: análisis de la Sentencia No. 1497-20-JP21 desde una perspectiva constitucional

Abstract

Abstract: This research paper analyzes the right to education of children and adolescents in a situation of human mobility in Ecuador, based on the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court with Ruling No. 1497-20-JP/21 with special emphasis on the dimension of accessibility. The research shows how administrative, regulatory and documentary obstacles limit real access to the educational system for this vulnerable population, and how the Court has interpreted the principle of accessibility as a state duty to eliminate such barriers. Through the study of key rulings, it is shown that the constitutional approach goes beyond physical access, demanding adequate normative and structural conditions to guarantee inclusive and non-discriminatory education. The main contribution lies in making visible the need for public policies that respond to international human rights standards and that recognize the reinforced nature of the right to education in contexts of human mobility. This legal analysis proposes a more ethical and inclusive vision of the Ecuadorian educational system.
