right to education
Schooling for all
The right to education is the principle that all people should have access to learning, particularly children to basic schooling.
It's recognized in international human rights frameworks and many national constitutions, though implementation varies widely.
Advocates invoke it to argue for free public education, equal access regardless of background, and protection from barriers like poverty or discrimination: The UN declares education a fundamental right.
