老年人教育平等权实现的法理逻辑与立法进路

The Legal Logic and Legislative Approach of the Realization of the Equal Right of the Elderly to Education

老年人教育平等权源于自然法上的应然权利。我国宪法和法律法规对老年人教育平等权的认可,实现了其由应然权利向法定权利的实质性飞跃,但其从法定权利转向实有权利的法理逻辑,在实践中遭遇到“条文软法化”与“供给低效”的现实挑战。老年人教育平等权应通过落实制度性保障义务来实现,基本进路是地方立法者通过老年教育人大立法完成“软法性条款”之效力外化与政策法律化。

The educational equality of the elderly comes from the natural law.Chinese constitution,laws and regulations confirm the equal right of the elderly to education,which has achieved a substantive leap from natural right to legal right.However,its legal logic from legal rights to real rights has encountered the practical challenges of“soft legal provisions”and“low supply efficiency”in practice.The equal right of the elderly to education should be realized through institutional safeguards.That is,local legislators complete the externalization of the effectiveness of“soft law provisions”and the legalization of policies with the help of local laws and regulations.
