Jurisprudencia educativa como pilar de la equidad y el acceso al derecho a la educación

Abstract

This article analyzes the role of jurisprudence as a key instrument for guaranteeing the right to education with a focus on equity. Based on a systematic literature review, 330 scientific documents extracted from the Scopus database between 2020 and 2025 were examined using the keywords educational and jurisprudence. Analytical tools such as “documents by country or territory” were used to explore geographical distribution and thematic trends. The results show a strong concentration of academic production in the global north, especially in the United States and Russia, with little representation from the global south. Three major contributions of educational jurisprudence were identified: the guarantee of universal access, the protection of vulnerable populations and the promotion of normative and institutional reforms. Nevertheless, challenges persist, such as inequality in judicial application, low dissemination of judgments and lack of transversality with other fundamental rights. These findings are interpreted in the light of previous studies and allow us to conclude that, although educational jurisprudence has strengthened the equity framework, its effective impact depends on institutional conditions, political will and intersectoral articulation.
