For the recognition of the teacher-student relationship as a Human Heritage
Education constitutes a basic human right, enabling access to all other rights and a privileged place for the promotion of human rights. The history of humanity is marked by the permanence of the teacher-student relationship, at all times and in all latitudes. The strength of this relationship is reflected in the diverse Eastern and Western philosophies, in the cultures of African and Indigenous peoples, and in Asian, American, and European traditions.
The act of teaching and educating corresponds to one of the most significant and relevant forms of human activity, at the foundation of which lies a transformative relational dynamic, led by duly qualified professionals – teachers. Teachers play a crucial role in realizing the universal right to education, as human professionals responsible for guiding and monitoring each student’s educational path.
The teacher-student relationship is one of humanity’s most important shared heritages.
