国际视野下的终身学习权法定化:权利证成与实践路径

Legalization of the Right to Lifelong Learning from an International Perspective:Rights Certification and Practical Paths

终身学习权是构建终身学习制度的基石,其在教育法治秩序中的明确对于建设学习型社会具有关键性作用。终身学习权法定化已成为全球范围内终身学习实践演进的趋势,从国际视野对其加以分析和论证,有助于我国的终身学习法治建设。从权利证成“三标准”理论来看,终身学习权具备法定化所需的合理性、合法性与现实性:就其合理性而言,利益正当性是合理性之首要标准,终身学习权所涉及的概念、属性、主体、客体与内容中都蕴含着该权利所保护利益的正当性;就其合法性而言,终身学习权被国际组织以及多国的教育战略、政策和法律所承认和尊重,并以直接或间接的方式所容纳,从而具备了该权利存在的社会机制及合法性;就其在我国的现实性而言,习近平法治思想、我国地方性立法实践、教育法典编纂为终身学习权的法定化提供了根本遵循、经验参考和重要契机,使其具备了充分的现实性。因此,我国可通过在教育法典中明确终身学习权的法律地位,构建以终身学习权为核心的权利体系和实施保障体系,实现终身学习权的法定化。
