Right To Education: A Myth

ABSTRACT:

It’s a Monday morning. Some children are going to school while some are working in a roadside food cafe and polishing shoes of the peoples. When we see a child working on the roadside we mostly ask a question “Don’t you go to school?” and leave for their journey. Who is responsible for their education, either the state government, their Parents or we all of us? Being the second largest populated country of the world and having the largest population of the youth this is a great opportunity for our country to use their human resources efficiently. But this is possible only when they are well educated and having required skills. There is a quit quote that “Children are the future of a country”. But only half of the children go to school, three million children do not attend school and seventy million children across the world are restricted from going to school for various reasons.
