What obligations do educational institutions and authorities have towards LGBTIQ+ children and adolescents?

The Constitutional Court in Ruling T-443 of 2020 indicated that the work of educational institutions is not limited to guaranteeing the acquisition of knowledge. In order to comprehensively protect the right to education of children and adolescents, teachers must provide emotional support and the necessary tools to their entire population, so that they can develop adequately and act in social life.

The Court has mentioned that, in the fulfilment of this duty, "the active participation of all members of the educational community is fundamental and decisive, but especially that of educators, since only to the extent that the values and principles they aspire to transmit to their pupils really constitute the basis of their own individual life projects, will their work be effective; Only those who practise tolerance, who respect diversity and recognise in the "other" someone equal to themselves, will have the capacity and legitimacy to contribute, through the educational process, to educating children and young people in a sustained ethical paradigm".
