CORDERO-MENDEZ, Francisco. Educational Blackout: Human Right to Education in the Costa Rica of the Neoliberal State. Rev. latinoam. estud. educ. [online]. 2024, vol.54, n.1, pp.113-138.  Epub 11-Mar-2024. ISSN 2448-878X.  https://doi.org/10.48102/rlee.2024.54.1.605.

This article aims to compare the perspectives of university professors on the entry of logic and market values in the educational field with education as a human right. To this end, interviews and a focus group have been used, with the participation of 20 university professors from the areas of education and social sciences of the University of Costa Rica and the State Distance University of Costa Rica. Using a grounded theory approach and the affordability and accessibility categories provided by Tomasevski (2004), it is concluded that teachers agree with exposing an anti-hegemonic position regarding the role that the State should play in education and that the SARS CoV-2 pandemic has fostered conditions capable of lifting the veil (alétheia effect and rupture of the promise of education), which until then had kept the educational gap partially hidden that the Neoliberal State has not been able to solve with its vision and management of educational policy.

Palabras llave : education as a human right; neoliberalism; educational blackout; Covid-19.
