16. CONCLUDING REMARKS BY:
MOZAH BINT NASSER AL
MISSNED
The right to a quality education is, I believe, the perfect path
to bridge the gap between different cultures and to reconcile
various civilizations. Without such a right, the values of
liberty, justice and equality will have no meaning. Ignorance
is by far the biggest danger and threat to humankind.
