The author defines why some people see education as a privilege and some other see it as a
right both sides have their point but the author sees education as a right. The reason why
education can be perceived as a right because education is a human right which implies that
everybody should pass through education no matter his sex, nationality or any other thing
and cannot be taken away for any reason. The author concluded that even though one cannot
have the privilege to be educated it does not remove the fact that it is a right for him to be
educated, education is a right and cannot be taken away for any reason. This source is useful
because it contains supporting information about education as a right.

This article states that the collective group of students, dubbed as Campout, stressed that
education is a right, not a privilege and should therefore not be commercialized.. For
[President] Benigno Aquino, quality education has a price tag, and is exclusive to those who
can pay. Year by year, tuition rates continue to rise and dubious miscellaneous fees are
approved and in many instances, miscellaneous fees are higher than the base tuition. Year by
year, more and more students drop out of school because they can no longer afford the cost
of education. As long as the calls for genuine change remain unanswered, the citizens, the
people, the students , will continue to shout for reforms. This article is useful because it
contains information to education as a right.

The author stated that education is a privilege, If you are educated you should know better
than to undermine someone who does not have the privilege of being educated. Education is
the greatest gift you can ever have although it might be pushed and encouraged by peers,
educators, and parents, it all comes down to whether you as an individual are willing to fully
commit to this tough and refreshing opportunity. We should respect those not as privileged
as us, and not become ignorant because that person you might be undermining may have the
wisdom that might help you one day, you will both need each other, with knowledge and
wisdom you can do great things. This article is useful because it contains useful information
about education a a privilege.
