“Education is a fundamental human right and essential for the exercise of all other human rights. It promotes individual freedom and empowerment and yields important development benefits. … Education is a powerful tool by which economically and socially marginalized adults and children can lift themselves out of poverty and participate fully as citizens." — UNESCO
