On the occasion of the 38th anniversary of the 1987 Constitution, Sterline Civil, Director General of the National Education Fund (FNE), recalled in a message that "the inclusion of education as a fundamental right in the Constitution is no accident."

"When Article 32 proclaims that 'the State guarantees the right to education,' it is not a pious wish, but rather establishes a profound obligation. For ignorance, more than poverty, is the most insidious obstacle to emancipation. Knowledge shapes citizens and forms Nations."

Sterline Civil emphasizes, "At the National Education Fund, we bear the weight of this historical responsibility. We are the heirs of a vision that places education at the heart of the social contract. Every day, we measure the gap between the constitutional ideal and the realities on the ground. These persistent disparities are not mere statistics; they represent shattered destinies, untapped potential, and deferred dreams. [...]

[...] The Constitution is not a simple document to be commemorated; it is a roadmap for action.

[...] When the Constitution speaks of free and compulsory education, it sets a horizon for us. When it speaks of universal access to education, it sets a course for us. [...] Constitutionally guaranteed education is the crucible in which our common destiny is forged. It is there that the next generation is prepared, our intellectual sovereignty is affirmed, and our national resilience is built.

Every teacher who passes on their knowledge, every student who awakens to knowledge, every parent who supports this quest, contributes to the realization of this constitutional project.

May every citizen become the vigilant guardian of this fundamental right. May every institution serve as a vehicle for this constitutional requirement. [...] The fight for education is the fight for our collective survival. It is the purest expression of our loyalty to constitutional ideals : education for all is not an option, but a social imperative."
