Answer 2

Education is both a means and an end. Education is a means because acquiring knowledge is empowering, liberating, inspiring and increase individual capacity to think, rationalise and dream a positive future. This future can be the desired end; such as a good occupation, job, entrepreneurship or even helping others get an education (Freire 1968). The second of the United Nations Millennium Development goals calls to achieve basic primary education for all children (UNDP 2000). Education therefore is a fundamental human right and essential for the exercise of all other human rights. It promotes individual freedom and empowerment and yields important development benefits. Yet millions of children and adults remain deprived of educational opportunities, many as a result of poverty (UNESCO 2014). Education is a powerful tool by which economically and socially marginalized adults and children can lift themselves out of poverty and participate fully as citizens..
