Education For All: Overcoming Global Barriers to Learning

Access to education was an important issue to me because of how the obstacles can prevent children and adults from accessing basic education, hindering their ability to break the cycle of poverty, achieve personal growth, and contribute to society. The barrier that has been placed on particularly marginalized communities, face barriers such as poverty, discrimination, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of resources. I think education is a right not a privilege and is something we can strive to change.
