THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION
Education is essential to the progress of society, development and quality of life. UNICEF estimates that over 100 million girls and boys the world over have no access to schooling. Of these, 82% live in rural areas.
The Right to Education is recognised by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights from the moment of its adoption in 1948. Today the schooling rate is higher than it has ever been and, although tremendous progress has been made as regards the number of girls who have access to schooling, parity remains an essential requirement if the world is to achieve the universal existence of primary education by 2015.
Mid-United Nations Literacy Decade (2003-2012), the target is to extend the use of literacy to the 860 million adults who can neither read nor write in the world and to the 113 millions
of children who receive no schooling, including those who live in developed countries.
