Preferencias académicas de los estudiantes de la Carrera de Derecho y su vinculación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) a través del estudio de sentencia

Abstract

Abstract: The present study investigates the relationship between Sustainable Development Goal No. 4 (quality education) and the sentence of Acción de Protección No. 1351-19-JP/22 of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador (2022). The ruling addressed the violation of constitutional rights to education, the best interest of the child, equality and non-discrimination of a person with double vulnerability. The research focused on how the rights protected in SDG 4 guarantee inclusive, equitable and quality education and promote lifelong learning for all relate to the case. The findings conclude that education, equality and non-discrimination are fundamental to social, occupational and educational progress, improving the overall environment. However, the study underscores the persistence of significant inequalities, especially for priority groups such as people with disabilities, who face obstacles both socially, as well as in access to and quality of education. The Constitutional Court also recognized a lack of normative analysis in previous judicial instances.
