Abstract La crisis internacional que vive el mundo, agudiza la situación en el campo educativo y acentúa cada vez más el desequilibrio entre los países desarrollados y los subdesarrollados. A casi sesenta años de la adopción de la Declaración de los Derechos Humanos, no se ha podido generalizar lo planteado en su Artículo 26. Sin embargo, en 1966 se logró que 142 países suscribieran el Pacto Internacional de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales, y se ha alcanzado un mayor consenso sobre los problemas que afronta la educación en aspectos tales como el acceso, la gratuidad, la equidad, la diversidad, la permanencia, la eficiencia, los problemas de género, la prioridad y la calidad de la educación, la educación para todos a lo largo de la vida y el aprendizaje centrado en el estudiante (todos esenciales para lograr una educación sensible a los derechos humanos). Pero la educación no puede hacer frente con sus estructuras y métodos tradicionales a estas exigencias. Por tanto, se requiere la utilización de nuevos enfoques y estrategias educativas, para resolverlos. Una alternativa es “la educación a distancia”, modalidad que puede desempeñar un papel excepcional en la ampliación del alcance de los sistemas de educación.

Abstract Este trabalho de reflexão apresenta os resultados de uma investigação bibliográfica que apontou e discutiu a realidade dos dados sobre a implantação e expansão da Educação a Distância (EAD) no Brasil – enfocando a inclusão digital – e analisa ‘como’ e ‘quanto’ ela corroborou para o fortalecimento dos Direitos Humanos e especialmente para o desenvolvimento da cidadania. A sistematização dos resultados contribuiu para uma reflexão crítica acerca do atual panorama de EAD e da democratização do ensino e de cidadania no país. A problemática da pesquisa circunscreveu-se sobre o binômio: inclusão digital e cidadania. A hipótese norteadora do trabalho é que a EAD é instrumento para uma ação que faz recuperar, avançar e fortalecer a cidadania e as competências para o desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional. O trabalho de reflexão foi conduzido através dos dados do Anuário Brasileiro Estatístico de Educação Aberta e a Distância – 2006.

Abstract Conceptualising education through a ‘human rights’ lens provides educators with a reflective interpretation and analyses for reconsidering the implications of the multidimensional social, cultural, economic, and political aspects of education as a human right. Moreover, we propose that the right to education, in and of itself, is inherently an educational access issues that is strengthened and supported through distance education practice. From a comparative standpoint, we analyse two systems that share similar characteristics of importance for adults and higher education. The potential of these systems are mutually complimentary with the economic efficiency components to make their applications to practice contribute to the premise of education as a fundamental human right.

Abstract As a member of the United Nations, Zambia is committed to the observance of human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. This is evidenced, among others, by the fact that Zambia is a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. Zambia has a permanent Human Rights Commission that includes a subcommittee on child rights whose focus is on child abuse and education. Zambia also has a National Child Policy and National Youth Policy whose main objectives are to holistically address problems affecting children and youth. This paper focuses on the progress and challenges currently facing Zambia and the role of open and distance learning in addressing those challenges.
