Voting in elections
STaying informed by engaging in the news
The right to education is one that can be viewed in many different ways. It can include schooling, technology, and even local events.
By voting in elections, citizens can become informed about their current political views. By looking into local politics and being given the ability to control their leaders, individuals will become educated about local issues. To add to this, citizens are able to elect leaders who prioritize education. This is a form of education through political action, the right to education is thus enhanced.
The news is a global interest. Regardless the media, individuals are provided with the opportunity to develop an understanding on current events. This development helps us, as global citizens, to become more educated regarding international stories and how they may link to your life.
Ex. In 2012, a Pakistani girl was shot for speaking out against girls educations rights. Through this even, citizens worldwide were educated on the limited opportunities for education girls
WHat civic responsibilities promote the right education?
Respecting other peoples rights, includes respecting differences and embracing diversity. Education is key to understanding and developing acceptance. In order to achieve global peace and tolerance, society must be educated and developed enough to accept cultural, religious, ethnic, political, and gender variations.
Writing letters to public officials about important issues
BY taking an interest and being passionate about a certain topic, citizens can create opportunities for change. They will do this by writing a letter to a representative about a current issue. Through legislation, the change may be implemented; and as such citizens whom the issue concerns may become more educated.
Ex. There was a proposal to erect a cell tower in a local residential area. The concern being that these towers can pose as a health risk. So, a concerned resident complied the research about the harm that this tower could create and distributed newsletters throughout the neighborhood with their findings. After becoming educated on this topic, the residents voted in protest against building the cell tower. Despite being offered compensation.
The right to education is a right that cannot be spread like respecting others opinions. However, it can be enhanced or improved upon. Through globalization, transnational corporations can outsource in impoverished nations and potentially bring more money into the regions economy.
This wealth will likely help develop the education system of that region. By increasing the wealth of individuals (even if by a fraction) can help them to pay for schooling or essential materials. If you look at the bigger picture, on the assumption that a countries general wealth is increased, then the government can look towards enhancing the school system. BY improving the system, basic education will be available to more people, thus further ensuring everyone's right to education.
Education has not always been easy to maintain on a global level. In fact, many developing countries are still struggling with providing substantial education to their citizens. According to world standards, however, every citizen is entitled to a proper education.
The right to education is important because if a country is able to provide education, then their citizens will not only be able to make more informed decisions for themselves, but will also be able to contribute to their nations economy.
When we talk about basic education, we are thinking about reading, writing, and simple math.......the basics. So how is the world doing in terms of the fundamentals?
