    Education Is Not A Right But A Privilege

    The document argues that education is currently a privilege rather than a right in the Philippines for three key reasons. First, while public education is free, poverty prevents many students from accessing education due to the costs of school supplies and transportation. Second, unequal access to quality education perpetuates social inequalities, as those with educational privilege obtain better jobs and opportunities. Third, rural areas in particular lack adequate school facilities and teachers, restricting education access. However, the document concludes that for society to be just, education must be recognized as a basic right, not just a privilege for some.

    I believe that education is not a rights but a privilege.

    First, let me emphasize the


    difference between privilege and rights; rights are an inherent, irrevocable entitlement held
    by all citizens or all human beings from the moment of birth, while privilege is something you
    are not entitled to and are lucky to have. The Philippine has free access to education for all.
    There are tons of public schools around the Philippines and most of the Filipino children
    went to public school, which are funded by the government. However, due to poverty, many
    students still can’t access free education, especially those living in rural areas. Education is a
    privilege in a way that only those students who can afford to buy their needs to study like
    school supplies has a privilege to study for you can’t attend school without material or school
    supplies. If we say that education is a right then everyone can go to school, but due to
    poverty everyone is not guaranteed to access free education but only privilege for those who
    can afford the cause of living.

    Education is also hierarchically structured and rewards those who have the privilege
    to access it with better socio-economic opportunities, a higher standard of living, and more
    fulfilling careers. This structure is perpetuated by the private and public policies that favor
    those who have access to education and disadvantage those who do not. Without the
    privilege that education offers, one stands a high chance of remaining oppressed,
    underdeveloped, and relegated to the margins of society (in a marginalized sector of the
    society). Another reason why education is considered a privilege rather than a right is the
    lack of access to quality education in many parts of the country. Rural and remote areas
    often have inadequate facilities and a shortage of trained teachers, making it difficult for
    children to receive a decent education. This is compounded by the deep-seated inequalities
    in the education system, where access to quality education is only available to those who can
    afford it.

    Therefore, education remains a privilege, and not everyone has the opportunity to
    access it. However, the creation of a more equitable and just society demands that we also
    recognize education as a right. It is crucial that education is not only accessible but exclusive.
    Only then can education truly be seen as a right rather than a privilege. As a future educator
    let’s change these views of individual that education is a privilege. Together lets make a place
    where negativity could not grow and foster and may the individual see the education as a
    rights, not a privilege.
