El homeschooling: una pugna entre la libertad de crianza y el bienestar superior del niño en la actualidad, en el Ecuador

Abstract

Homeschooling is an alternative form of education that, as a result of the pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns during the years 2020 and 2021, has seen a significant increase in people choosing to educate their children at home using this methodology. It is a fundamental duty of the State to ensure the education of all its citizens, with a particular emphasis on girls, boys, and adolescents. Therefore, clear and comprehensive legislation is necessary to harmonize this right with that of parents or guardians, who have the power to decide how their children will receive education while always respecting the constitutional principles of the best interests of the child, freedom of upbringing and access to education.
