Sistemi universitari, diritto all'istruzione superiore e soggetti vulnerabili: tra influenze sovranazionali e politiche del PNRR

The contribution explores the evolutionary dynamics of the right to study in the context of the university system and higher education, in relation to the broad category of vulnerabilities, to offer a particular perspective from which to investigate the innovative processes promoted by the PNRR and measure its implementation in terms of guarantees and tools to support individuals and territories with conditions of disadvantage and fragility. The analysis allows us to highlight, in the internal legal system, the beginning of an unprecedented phase of recognition and protection of the social dimension of higher education, which points out the trends and results of progress developed in the supranational dimension, consolidating the perspective that education is not just a public policy, but also a field characterized by irreducible guarantees and a basic lever of social and economic objectives, since it was conceived as preminent and as a projection of an irreducible public duty, being essential for the development of the individual and the community.
