Good day Mr. Chairman, erudite judges, the coordinators, the moderators, accurate time
keeper, distinguished audience.

my name is TopeQs, representing Futminna. I'm here to argue on education as a right against it being a privilege.



let me start by saying the right to education is guaranteed legally for all without any discrimination
the state have the obligation to protect, respect and fulfil the right to education, there are ways to hold the state accountable for violations or deprivations of the right to education.


Education is not a privilege of the rich and well-to-do; it is the inalienable right of every child. The state must discharge its responsibility as guarantor and regulator of education as a fundamental human entitlement and as a public cause. The provision of basic education, free of cost, is not only a core obligation of states but also a moral imperative.

then......

What is a right?

It is any claim, title, etc, that is morally just or legally granted as allowable or due to a person,

What is privilege?

Privilege is a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.

Then what is education?

The 1960
UNESCO Convention against Discrimination in Education defines education in Article 1(2) as: "all types and levels of education, (including) access to education, the standard and quality of education, and the conditions under which it is given."
In a wider sense education may describe "all activities by which a human group transmits to its descendants a body of knowledge and skills and a moral code which enable the group to subsist". In this sense education refers to the transmission to a subsequent generation of those skills needed to perform tasks of daily living, and further passing on the social, cultural, spiritual and philosophical values of the particular community. The wider meaning of education has been recognised in Article 1(a) of UNESCO 's 1974
Recommendation concerning Education for International Understanding, Co-operation and Peace and Education relating to Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
This article state as quoted "the entire process of social life by means of which individuals and social groups learn to develop consciously within, and for the benefit of, the national and international communities, the whole of their personal capabilities, attitudes, aptitudes and knowledge."


Education is also the path to development. It creates choices and opportunities for people in terms of access to employment, reduces the twin burdens of poverty and disease, and empowers people. For nations as a whole, education produces a more skilled and competitive workforce that can attract better quality foreign investment, thus opening the doors to economic and social prosperity for society as a whole.

If education was a privilege most nations would be badly governed, cos few people would be learned thus citizens won't know how things are been run.

Moreover, If education wasn't a right, the world today will be full of illiteracy........that's why the government makes it a task for themselves to make sure people are very well educated, even to the very less privileged..............

Education is a right to everyone, as a matter of fact everyone is educated, education isn't only books, it's also a skill learnt, according to wikitionary,
Education is the process or art of imparting knowledge, skill and judgment.
A good teacher is essential for a good education.
Education is also facts, skills and ideas that have been learned, either formally or informally.

Furthermore, If education was a privilege then only few people will be educated, which means the world will have to follow what they are been told or shown because most people won't know how to challenge the right and wrong of the constitution or whatever law the state is been run. We have to think about the impact education has made through it been a right and think of how education as a privilege would be against it been a right.

Education is a right, not a privilege. It is important for readers to understand that access to education is a basic human right, enshrined in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, a multilateral treaty adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 16 December, 1966 and in force since 1976. The right to free education is also guaranteed by most countries’ legal and constitutional frameworks.

In conclusion, access to education is not a privilege, it’s a right. Educating children no matter where they are is one of the biggest steps we can take toward ending extreme poverty. To make this happen, we work together with a diverse group of governments, civil society/non-governmental organizations, international organizations, private sector, and teachers.

Education is fundamental to the development of human potential and to full participation in a democratic society. That's why it's recognised as a human right. Everyone has the right to education, regardless of where you live, what your race is or whether or not you have a disability.

We need to acknowledge the fact that education is also fundamental to the full enjoyment of most other human rights: most clearly the right to work but also the right to health. And to the exercise of social responsibilities including respect for human rights.

The reference was misused, its initial essence was to confirm quotes, definition and what have you. when u quote Osama bin Laden when he never said anything, u should be able to back it up with a source. But we're in Nigeria, our country people don hijack am.

never failed a course.....but I had a missing script which prompt me to rewrite the exam, I went to complain to our coordinator, they made it seem like it is my fault, funny enough it was my main departmental course. well after I swallowed my bitter pill and realised there wasn't a way, I decided to rewrite with my juniors then. it bruised my GP in the first year...........but, I still managed to come out with a 3.02/4.00 GP

it was a polytechnic........

EducationRe: Nairaland Interschool Debate Fourth Edition Chatroom by TopeQs: 6:48am On Dec 28, 2015
MY OPINION.....



finestboi, I think the problem started cos of this introduced word count of a stuff, an official debate doesn't have a word count....okay, this is online, there should only be maximum count which is 1200, if we like we should use 500 words as far as our point is gotten it shouldn't mind.

and this reference of a thing is cheating....let us flex our muscles, let us give an essay direct from our mind and brains.....when you're writing an exam and some answers you wrote where from the materials you got online...would you put references in your answer sheethuh
please ponder on this....





HOPE THIS REFERENCE WILL STOP FROM NEXT STAGE........IT'S ONLY MAKING PEOPLE GET A EASY WAY AROUND THE ESSAY....
