regardless of race, ethnicity, social origin, gender, political
preferences, or disability. It is also a vital human right in
exercising all the other human rights.
Furthermore, it stimulates independence and
concession to produce significant development benefits
for the country. It is a powerful instrument for
economically and socially marginalized individuals away
from poverty to become productive citizen of the country.
Since education is a human right, every individual has an
equal opportunity to participate in an education system.

every powerful nation. Through education, we receives
light, with that light we receives hope, and with that
hope we pursue our dreams and with those dreams, we
foresee a brighter tomorrow.”
