Access to the Right to Education for Undocumented Migrant Workers and Their Family Members Within the EU
Access to the Right to Education for Undocumented Migrant Workers and Their Family Members Within the EU

Summary/Abstract: The right to education is guaranteed by various core international human rights treaties. Effective access to this right for all should be ensured within the EU, but is this, in fact, the case? This article examines access to education for children of undocumented migrant workers, identifies the legal framework in this area, determines who is responsible for ensuring effective access to education as guaranteed by international treaties, and outlines the main barriers to accessing this right for a selected group of people, particularly children, in the context of education. Based on positive examples from the practices of selected Member States, the article concludes by proposing a solution that, from the author’s perspective, would address the issues analysed at the EU level and improve the current situation.
