On the commemoration of the Human Rights Day on 10 December, let us remember the 75 million children whose humanity is challenged in crisis-affected countries around the globe. Without the tool of quality education in their most formative years, the reverse will fall upon us and this should be no surprise. Their lack of quality education prevents them from graduating from their suffering. On the commemoration of the Human Rights Day, let us remember the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As Mandela also said: “To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.” Enshrined in Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the right to education is a basic human right.
