Extensive international literature on educational inequalities exists, yet fewer studies have been conducted to include rigorous conceptual and theoretical concepts of social justice in education. This topic is especially relevant in Latin America, where persisting injustice is behind demands for greater justice in education. The objective of this article is to examine traditions of philosophical thinking in the study of social justice, and to explore how these traditions could be applied to understand and promote justice in education. A critical review is made of the theory of justice of primary goods, the focus of justice centered on human abilities, the human rights approach, and the view of epistemic justice. Lastly, a discussion on educational policies in emergency contexts is presented.

Keywords : social justice; educational inequality; social inequality; right to education; educational policy; Mexico.
