It is my opinion that basic levels of education should be a right. They ensure people have the skills to make something of their life and better what they have got as well as ensuring the development of a nation. However that is not to say that it should be everyones right to go onto further education, this should be earned on peoples ability to study but not their ability to pay in order to ensure that education at the higher level is not only for the rich which disadvantages the poorer amongst society but also ensures that a degree becomes worthless Side: A right
Education is every person's right. The state needs educated people who will develop it, and I also think that education should be free. During training, there are already a lot of expenses for all exams, competitions, competitions, homework services. By the way, I found a website https://www.essayuniverse.net/ Side: A privilege

A good education is a human right and not a privilege. Many people may disagree, but many people may may also agree for many reasons. A human right is a right that is given to anyone, no matter their gender, nationality, color, ethnic origin, religion, language and so on. A human right can’t be given or taken away from anyone. “Human rights are the foundation for freedom, justice and peace in the world.” One reason why many people, including myself, believe that a good education is a human right is because the international human rights law ensures that every person has the right to receive an education. According to article 26 from The Universal Declaration on Human Rights states, “everyone has the right to education". After that, many other international groups including the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the UNESCO Convention against Discrimination in Education have recognized and spread that education is a right to everyone. Therefore, one reason why many people, including myself, believe that a good education is a human right is because the international human rights law ensures that every person has the right to receive an education.

Education is a right. With education, you can further yourself in life and be successful. Do you want to argue that people in undeveloped countries don't get an education? They do. They have to fight long and hard for it, but they do. Education is getting a better understanding of the world, and it is important. You can form well-though debates with education, or create things that help people who can't. Do you want an example? There is a website called "SafeMoto", created by Africans who fought long and hard for an education. And there is "FarmDrive", a record-keeping database that helps farmers. And with farmers being more successful, that means money can be put into education- which in turn helps further the country. Yes, the fact is that many are illiterate. But that is because of lack of transportation, or war, or anything that keeps them there. Like harvesting. Yes, people in America are literate, but because we made it so. That does not mean it is a privilege, however, it means that educated people helped further education. Education is a tool for success that all should have. Just because a lot do without doesn't mean it is a privilege. It means it's a right. Since success is something we all want, shouldn't a tool for it be within our rights? Side: A right

it should only be a right because if it will be a privilege, then it will be a pressure on the persons who do not want to get further education either because of economy crises or any other reason and in my opinion if anything is done under the pressure then it is not successful for long phase of time... and for every person it is already a right to at least complete their schooling level or we can say up to 12Th grade for better lifestyle and after that they can live their life better because in one's life only education does not matter for better life. yes, schooling level is our basic requirement but to get success in life we should have a quality of thoughts, experience, a good mentality and personality... so, in my opinion, at last it should only be a right for a person not privilege Side: A right

Education is not something that everyone has access to. All teenagers, adults, and children must have access to education. Education is not a government-provided privilege; education is a right that all children, teenagers, and adults have.The professional writers of the Assignment Desk are here to provide you with the dissertation help, assisting right from topic selection to proofreading for a flawless document.

I agree that education is a privilege rather than a right. Though it is a law that education is compulsory and nobody can be denied it, the reality does not say the case. Many people do not understand the significance of education and think its a waste of time. They do not send their children to school, rather make them work at home, or in some small place. There are other backward people who do not send girls to school as they think it might have a corrupting influence on them. This makes up a sizable population of the world, with a few privileged ones getting education. Side: A privilege

It is a privilege? Indeed it is, with a great proportion of the world having little or no access to it, it is the privileged few that are granted it. Actually, most (if not all) of the world classifies education as a right. Most of the world has received an education as well. "More than 72 million children of primary education age are not in school and 759 million adults are illiterate" If you wanted to argue for lack of education rights, you should probably focus on some countries that still ban girls from receiving an education. This would seem like the only argument for education as a privilege. Even then, statistically, a large majority of women do have education rights. In the end, there is no evidence to suggest that "a great proportion of the world [have] little or no access". Side: A right

Well when you see half the world population living under the poverty level,you've to say,keeping in mind the modern context,that it's a privilege which only the rich and wealthy or those who've just enough(money) can afford.Well it is considered as a right but when you see our governments lacking in funds,unable to provide for all ,I guess you've to say it's a privilege.

This is a very controversial topic. The thing is, for children in non-developed or third world countries, they would not get an education, whereas children in, lets say America, do as a right. For us in America, it is a privilege that we get an education, but it is every humans right to get one, even though not everyone does. Pretty much, everyone deserves to learn, but only those privileged people can and will. Side: A privilege
It is a privilege. And actually food and water are also privileges. If you are not automatically entitled to food and water then it's really a stretch to say despite the fact you are starving you are automatically entitled to an education. But with that said, a smart society will help even the least of its citizens to have an education because in order to contribute to the economy and be able to interact with those who have more privilege than they do they will need to know how to read, right, do math, etc. Side: A privilege

Education, in fact, is a privilege. There are countries in the world suffering from severe famine and poverty. Having 3 meals a day to them sometimes is difficult, let alone getting themselves or their children to schools. Though governments are exerting great efforts to improve the educational system, to make it available to all, the reality is not what they envisioned. We, after all, are living in a polarized society. However, education should be a right. Our generation may not fortunate enough to see a world where everyone is literate. But hopefully all the campaigns, voluntary programs and governmental policies aiming at the reinforcement in the education will soon go into effect and all people can gain access to it. Side: A privilege
A society in which you don't have an automatic right to free food, clothing, housing, transportation, full range medical treatment, etc, cannot turn around and then say "oh, but you have a right to a free education up to whatever level you want to take it". It's a privilege. But with that said, a democratic society which steers the ship based on votes of the populace, and a capitalist society which needs people at all levels to be able to read and write and add and participate in the general economy, both are well served if they provide a decent public education to everyone up to a basic level.
