Abstract

The current study aims to discuss the political and pedagogical tensions involved in unfolding the right to education as a right to equality and to difference. It also aims to reflect about the challenge of sheltering equality and difference in the educational public policy field, by taking gender as analytical operator. The methodical movement consists in questioning and positioning ourselves against the emptying of meaning by the naturalization of concepts such as rights and humanity, which are often used in the political struggle. In times when students/teachers wonder about what they are doing, it seems that the school plays the fundamental role of educating for citizenship. We believe in the power of making (micro) policies within the educational environment, by collectively exercising, through a polyphony of different voices, the right to education (not just school education) as the right of all, of each group and of each individual.
