Article 28 states that as a child, you have a right to get a good quality education. It also states that you have the right to take your education as far as you want to go, whether it is finishing high school or university.
Article 28 was first introduced by the United Nations (UN) as part of the Conventions on the Rights of the Child. It has been in action since 1990.
Article 28 is important as it acts as a reminder to everyone (especially adults) that you, as a child, have rights to education, no matter what they may say. It also reminds governments to ensure that schools and parents act upon it.
Education is important because it allows you to go places in life. It can open a world of opportunities that you may not get without education.
