RIGHT #3: ARTICLE 26 - Right to Education



Education is the movement from darkness to light.

                                                                                    - Allan Bloom 

            We kept on saying “education is a right, not a privilege” – it is clearly stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that education should be free from the elementary and fundamental levels. Aside from that, it should not just be accessible to everyone but it should be on its highest quality for it will empower and flourish the youth.

          However, despite the fact that education is free, as of February 2020, there are still more or less than 260,000,000 children who does not have an access to education for some reasons – mainly because of poverty, lack of instructors and facilities, child labor and more.

But still, education is important to everyone, especially the youth, because they are the one who will lead the future. In addition, education also plays a huge role in eradicating poverty and hunger, promoting sustained and inclusive economic growth. So if everyone have an access to education, we might have a bright future ahead us.
