Summary/Abstract: The right of individuals to education is a universal human right, and therefore a universal child's right. In international law, children are recognized as a particularly sensitive and specific category for whose protection human rights protection mechanisms are not sufficient. That is why there was a need to protect children's rights by international regulations. The fact that education represents a category of public interest obliges the state to accept and respect international regulations in this area and their implementation in domestic legislation. Today, the question of whether a country has laws guaranteeing a child's right to education is almost unheard of. Children's rights are a fact, a reality recognized by international law, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most important international document in the field of the protection of children's rights, was signed and ratified by 196 countries of the world. By adopting the Convention, states have shown their willingness to take responsibility for the upbringing and well-being of children by adopting and implementing various measures and laws. Most of the signatory countries already in their Constitutions guarantee children the right to special protection and education and have all the necessary legal regulations. In this paper, I will analyze the legal regulations in the field of the right to education in Montenegro and try to determine whether it sufficiently enables the realization of the right to education, whether it enables the realization of the right to education of children from vulnerable categories of the population (children with special educational needs, children from the Roma community, etc.), to what extent is it binding for parents and guardians, how much is it respected in practice and what do educators think about the legal regulations in the field of education in Montenegro.
