Član 26. Svako ima pravo na školovanje. Školovanje treba da bude besplatno bar u osnovnim i nižim školama. Osnovna nastava je obavezna. Tehnička i stručna nastava treba da bude opšte dostupna, a viša nastava treba da bude svima podjednako pristupačna na osnovu utvrdjenih kriterijuma. Školovanje treba da bude usmereno punom razvoju ljudske ličnosti i jačanju poštovanja ljudskih prava i osnovnih sloboda. Ono treba da unapredjuje razumevanje, trpeljivost i prijateljstvo medju svim narodima, rasnim i verskim grupacijama, kao i delatnost Ujedinjenih nacija za održavanje mira. Roditelji imaju prvenstveno pravo da biraju vrstu školovanja za svoju decu. Član 27. Svako ima pravo da slobodno učestvuje u kulturnom životu zajednice, da uživa u umetnosti i da učestvuje u naučnom napretku i u dobrobiti koja otuda proističe. Svako ima pravo na zaštitu moralnih i materijalnih interesa koji proističu iz bilo kog naučnog, književnog ili umetničkog dela čiji je on tvorac. |
