" Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world" ; these are not my worlds, these are the words of the former South African president Nelson Mandela. These words give us an idea about the power of education. Education is the light against all darkness, that will carry human civilization to greater heights. It's not just Nelson Mandela many other great minds also recognised the importance of education. Many have even risked their lives fighting for the educational rights of other people. The 2014 Nobel prize winner Malala Yousafzai even had to take a bullet in her head for raising her voice for the education of young women. She was only 15 when she was shot by the Taliban. Even at an young age she knew the power of education. Infact even the people who tried to shut her mouth also know the changes education can bring, that's why they feared her.Education is the fundamental right of every human being born into this world. No one has the authority to deny education from someone. In today's world majority of the world has the opportunity to get basic education. Only some people in the most remote corners of the earth lack this opportunity today. The governments of every nation should give the top most priority to education. Because education is needed from a very young age to mold a person into a good citizen.
