Limitaciones al derecho a la salud de docentes con enfermedades catastróficas frente al artículo 98 de la LOEI

Abstract

This research explores the normative inconsistency between the Organic Law of Intercultural Education and the Constitution of Ecuador. Given that the Ecuadorian Constitution is recognized as one of the most rights-guaranteeing charters in Latin America, the shortcomings present in this secondary legislation constitute a clear violation of the right to health, particularly affecting priority attention groups. These groups, who should be protected by the State, instead face exclusion and discrimination. The provision that allows job transfers only for tenured teachers, excluding those with temporary contracts, directly contradicts constitutional principles of equality and non-discrimination.
