4 12. The concern for the prevalence of superior values ought to, in my view, have primacy over the mere claiming of indemnizations, so as also to fulfil the personal needs - other than the material ones - of a victim of violations of human rights. Thus, to secure the superior education of a victimized youngster seems to me much more important than granting him an additional sum in money, in the form of indemnization. The reparation for the damage to the project of life is not reduced to one more indemnization: it takes place, in the cas d'espèce, by means of the guarantee of the conditions extended to the victim for his formation as a human being and his education of superior level. 13. To the satisfaction, thus, is added this form of reparation conducive to the rehabilitation of the victim. The present Judgment is endowed with a symbolic value which renders it, to my mind, emblematic: in an epoch in which, as a notorious fact, the States of the region adopt public policies which do not disclose much regard for education, in grave prejudice - in the mid and long run - to the whole social milieu (and particularly to the new generations), the Inter-American Court affirms the superior value of the guarantee of education as a form of reparation for the damage to the project of life of a victim of violation of the human rights protected by the American Convention.
