Abstract

This monograph has as exploratory field to harvest the social right to education in the context of human rights, based on the principles of social accountability. Education is a right guaranteed in the legislation, however, not realized in its fullness in the field of public policy. Analyzed in this work, the experiences and practices of the National Campaign for the Right to Education (Campaign) in defending the human right to education. We start from a discussion of citizenship, social control and dimensions of accountability, with the goal of analyzing the group of social actors involved in the complaint of the right and the strategies used to strengthen social control. We support the concept of social accountability for criminalizing civil organizations that make up the social network of Campaign and categorize the strategies adopted. Among the main findings of this study, we highlight that the Campaign has guided behaviors in the political sphere, which are transforming the state / society and affecting the legal-normative structure of the country in ensuring the right to education; that its performance corroborates the thesis Peruzzotti (2009) that social accountability initiatives focus on the functioning of electoral horizontal and vertical mechanisms; that media strategies, and legal mobilization are key to achieving social accountability; that technology and social media are essential in the process of social mobilization, as well as to provoke the feeling of belonging, connection and responsibility considering the Brazilian territory; and that the policy of social accountability contributes greatly to the realization of human rights and the consolidation of citizenship.
