The theory of education as a natural right has a storied
history, and can be traced from the rejection of slavery in the Enlightenment to a greater understanding and promotion of individual autonomy. The idea of education as a form of a natural right developed more recently from those principles, taking the form of physical systems of education as in the writings of Horace Mann. However, it also takes on theoretical manifestations, as in the writings of John Rawls. Society as it exists today is, of course, a far cry from Rawls's original position. However, being what it is, education is a right and a goal founded on refuting servitude, and evidences itself as an institution available to all persons as an immutable, freely given choice.
