Typology of Legal Relations in the Field of Education

An interest in the problem of the formation of educational relations and their separation as a special type of relations that are beyond the scope of administrative legal regulation arose in domestic jurisprudence in the 1970’s. The works of Soviet scholars created the basis for the discussion of the problem of understanding educational relations as a separate subject of legal regulation of a new emerging legal category – educational law. The different positions of domestic scholars towards “educational law” led to a different interpretation of the concept of “educational legal relations,” and it did not take shape right away. Despite the lack of a clear understanding of the subject of legal regulation of educational law, scientists agreed on one thing – the core of relations arising in the field of education is the pedagogical legal relationship that arises between the teacher and the student. The paper reveals the features of these legal relations, presents their typology.
