HIGH SCHOOL LAW

facultas / FlexLex, 2023
ISBN: 978-3-99071-244-3
Authors: Thomas Benesch, Johannes Göllner, Franz Hollerer, Martin Stieger

Higher education law contains legal texts on international legal texts, regulations and directives of the European Union as well as laws and regulations of the Republic of Austria on the most important school systems existing in Austria and existing tertiary higher education institutions. For example, organizational, study and employment law aspects are dealt with.

The quantity and quality of educational opportunities play a central role in the development of the state. A high level of education ensures the successful future and international competitiveness of a state.

According to Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, education is a human right.
“1. everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free of charge, at least primary education and basic education. Primary education shall be compulsory. Technical and vocational education must be made generally available, and higher education must be equally accessible to all according to ability.
2. Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It must contribute to understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations and all racial or religious groups and be conducive to the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.
3. Parents have a paramount right to choose the type of education to be provided to their children.”

In order to uphold this right in Austria and realize it in the best possible way, there are international and national sources of legislation, which are listed in the following sections. The European and national laws as well as important regulations are arranged in a comprehensible and logical order and provide support for people who work in education or are interested in the education system.

Authors: Elias G. Carayannis, David F. J. Campbell, Marios Panagiotis Efthymiopoulos

This volume covers a wide range of issues related to economic and political development enabled by information and communication technology (ICT).

Each essay includes literature reviews and key references; definition of critical terms and concepts; case studies; implications for practice, policy and theory; and discussion of future directions. The authors represent fields such as management, political science, economics, law, psychology, and education, and address contemporary issues such as health care, energy and environmental policy, banking and finance, disaster relief, investment in research and development, homeland security, and diplomacy in the context of ICTs and their economic, political, and social implications.
