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 sentencias

Abstract

Abstract: This work addresses the academic preferences of law students and their connection to the SDGs, particularly SDG 4: "Quality Education." This goal seeks to guarantee inclusive and quality education to promote lifelong learning. The study analyzes the national legal framework and international instruments that support the right to education, highlighting their importance in reducing inequalities and empowering vulnerable groups. Through a review of court rulings, the work evaluates how the Ecuadorian judicial system has addressed cases of educational discrimination and unequal access to inclusive education. The methodology used combines an exegetical, theoretical-deductive, and socio-legal approach to connect legal principles with social and economic phenomena. The results highlight advances in academic and professional training, but also identify structural and regulatory limitations in the implementation of educational policies and judicial decisions. The study concludes that inclusive education is key to sustainable development and that legal professionals must assume an active role in promoting this fundamental right.
