EVERY CHILD HAS
THE RIGHT TO AN
EDUCATION.

Importance of Education

Education is important and must be available for every child. Education would help you get a job that pays well enough for you to afford a stable life. This will make it easier for the child, as it means less stress about poverty, and education may even get them out of poverty. This gives the opportunity for the poor to have an equal chance of getting jobs. It makes you independent, you are able to understand what is wrong and right and make good decisions for the future.
