The First Grader – The Right to Learn

National Geographic has come with an interesting film based on a true story of an old man surviving the past and fighting to learn to read. ‘The Right to Learn’ – sentence struck me… Thinking about it for the current world, we also have the right to learn, though what if the language of teaching can no longer be understood by it’s pupils? We have the ability to learn, though the way and what should be learned is not really there… How can you practice your right to learn if the way of learning does not exist?

Ofcourse I am floating here, though when all evidence is there we are not preparing our children for the world we have created, what right can be claimed? The right to understand your culture? To see futures, better futures? How?
