Educaţia pentru valori prin drepturile şi libertăţile fundamentale ale omului
Education for values through human rights and fundamental freedoms

Summary/Abstract: The genesis of education is to be found in the Roman mythology embodied by Edulica the goddess, a symbol of the responsibility in raising and feeding the children during the ancient times. By springing out from the symbolism and the etymology of the Latin educo / educere, one idea has transgressed throughout the centuries: that education has been the cultural and the spiritual food for the entire human evolution in the sense of pulling the man out of his natural shell state and consequently shaping, developing and maturing the fundamental core of his physical, psychic, moral, aesthetic, cognitive, affective and volitional being. The education of the human being has gradually evolved over time having as starting point the human value, regarded as the quintessence of all human qualities that usually generate appreciation for the qualities of a human being as a universal actor implied in the defining and the recognition of his or her “inherent dignity and of that of the human family members, in their equal and inalienable rights”. In this respect the human rights have been established and forwarded by their very own nature, independent of any forces that might have influenced them. In the evolution of human society and of education, they have constituted themselves as a science of human rights rooted in values such as freedom, equality, justice, tolerance, solidarity and responsibility under the protection and the requirements of the law.
