This report deals with the fundamental right to education in a rural jungle area of Peru. It is a very important case because it highlights the precariousness of the educational service in our country and the position of the Constitutional Court regarding the poor access this fundamental right has and that the Peruvian Goverment cannot guarantee. The main problem in the case is whether or not the educational right of the applicants (two sisters aged 18 and 19) was violated by the lack of suitable educational centres in the rural area in which they lived and by preventing them from enrolling in a regular basic education centre because they didnt have the legal age. The Constitutional Court declares the claim to be well founded on the grounds that the laws must be interpreted following the Constitution and not vice versa, so that, evenlthough the General Educational Law establishes criteria for access to regular basic education and alternative basic education centers, these norms must be applied following the constitutional guidelines that regulate fundamental rights and not vice versa. The Courts also declared the unconstitutional state of affairs. The educational right is a fundamental right regulated -among others- in articles 13, 14, 16 and 17 of the Constitution and in Peru, in addition, human rights are interpreted, in accordance with the Fourth Final and Transitory Provision, following international treaties such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights.
