Why SDG #4 should be a human right
I have an amazing class called SDGs and you. This past week our class has been looking and learning about SDG #1 #2 and #4. Our assignment was to write about why SDG #1 #2 or #4 should be a human right. SDG 1, 2, and 4 are all human needs however they should be human rights.. All SDGs are important however out of SDG 1, 2, and 4 I think that SDG #4 is the most important thing to accomplish to make human rights. I personally choice SDG #4 because this one seems the most reasonable.
Article 26 from the United Nations states “Everyone has the right to education…”. Everyone should have the right to education. Why? You might ask? Think of every benefit of having quality education! Is there any downside? The right to quality education should be a human right because it can improve the world and the community. Without quality education the world can’t make a lot of progress.

Some people might say that Education should not be a right. According to Links International, “More than 226 million children do not attend secondary school.” This means the people saying that education should not be a right are agreeing that over 226 million people should not attend secondary school.
There are lots of human needs in the world. Things we need to survive like food, water shelter (e.t.c). In fact there is a pyramid showing the hierarchy of needs. Did you know that quality education fits in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs?
Without quality education you might not be able to fulfil all the needs. There are esteem needs and you cannot finish these needs because without quality education millions of people might not be able to feel accomplished. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs in fact goes all the way down to love/belonging. How can someone feel as if they belong with people if they cannot make enough friends. Schools are a good place to make friends.
Without quality education people cannot flourish and grow “The report found that the number of boys and girls who are denied access to education is up 1 million from 2016 — to 264 million.” (UNESCO). That is a lot of children that are denied access to education. If we don't fix it then the number would only get worse since the population is increasing. Currently a child’s education without college is “On average, it costs $10,615 to send a kid to public school for a year. (That's federal, state and local government spending combined.)” (Lam Thuy Vo). If we don’t make quality education a priority there will be more people on the poverty line due to the expenses of their child’s education
What would happen if quality education was a right?With quality education everyone can help each other with building a better community. With quality education we can all help each other out of problems because we would know how to solve them. With quality education people on the poverty line won’t have to pay as much for their family’s education or even their own education. “Education reduces poverty, decreases social inequalities, empowers women and helps each individual reach their full potential.” (TheirWorld).

There are many ways we can help make quality education a right
We can have the government plan out funding systems so there can be more schools and more teachers. This way we can get even better teachers to be across the country so we can have quality education everywhere. The government can also use the tax money to help make quality education a right. As a community we can volunteer to help teach other kids and work with them so they have a better education.
Quality education should be a right everywhere. With quality education the world can learn to work together and form bigger and better ideas to help your community.
