Education Law: legal matters pertaining to the world of schools and preschools
Education law is a legal discipline that governs how schools, preschools and universities operate and are regulated. It encompasses legal aspects that impact schools' daily activities, including state governance through laws such as the Education Act, the Administrative Procedure Act, and other relevant legislation. Education law covers everything from students' rights, the role of guardians vis-à-vis the school, and workplace environment issues to matters concerning discrimination and safety for pupils, students, and staff.
