           Going to school is a human right, just like "the right to life, liberty and security of person" (Art. 3). It is perhaps the most important because it's fundamental to enjoy the other rights. It is the gate for knowledge and innovation. Without Education there will be no progress, no equal opportunities and no sustainable development.

           With the right to education, people can understand the other rights they have and get profit from them. Thanks to education, women are empowered, children are safe, and disabled people are treated with respect. In a word, active citizenship becomes a moral obligation. There'll be no dropping out of school, and learning allows people to ensure a decent livelihood in dignity.

           Education is not just a right, but it is also a duty. The government has to build schools, but the parents have to send their children there and make sure they are learning something. Additionally, the civil society has to assist poor families not to prevent their kids from school.
