2. Education is a fundamental human right, which is
necessary for the exercise of all other human rights.
However, only a few children are able or allowed to go to
school.
3. 130 million of the world’s 15 to 24 year-olds can neither read
nor write
Nearly 115 million children are out of school, 53% of which
are girls
Because…
they are made to work
they are recruited into the armed forces
their families do not have the means to pay for schooling
discrimination and racism undermine their chance to receive
any form of education
they face violence as they pursue their education

5. Everyone
has the right to education. Education should
be free, at least during elementary and fundamental
stages. Elementary education, in particular, should be
made compulsory.
Education should be directed to the full development of
the human personality and to the strengthening of
respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It
should promote understanding, tolerance and friendship
among all nations, racial or religious groups.
