Should a child be allowed to receive education despite their legal status? Three years ago, I witnessed an incident where a child was refused access to a local school because he did not attend. have the relevant document needed at the school for registration. She was only nine years old when she emigrated with her parents to the Bahamas and her dream was to enter a primary school as soon as possible in order to acquire the education necessary to advance to the next level, as she did not did not have the opportunity to follow start-up training at home. The necessary document was a student permit or as many would call it, a student visa which must be issued before migrating to other countries if a person wishes to continue their studies elsewhere. As the child was unable to present this required document, admission was refused. Every child, regardless of their legal status, should have the right to education. Many adults voluntarily migrate to other countries in search of a better life or future. Many dreamed of leaving their native country and seeking asylum in other countries so that their children could benefit from adequate schooling that they could neither acquire nor provide. As a result, many children are forced to emigrate to other countries with their parents, not by choice but because their parents are forced to. We cannot blame or penalize a young child who had no decision about what his parents did when coming to a country. A child should not have to pay the consequences for an act they did not commit. The right of admission to education, the right to quality education and the right to respect in the learning environment should be granted to a child as soon as he or she is able and willing to learn. According to Wikipedia, ...... middle of paper ...... a child having no legal status will do more good than harm in many cases. Education can lift many children out of poverty and enable them to contribute fully to the life of communities. A child should have the right to education despite their legal status, because education is power and power is the key to success. This should be a need of society because the more educated people are, the better. No child should be left uneducated; every child has the right to education because it is a fundamental human right, education would reduce illiteracy among the population because illiteracy deprives people of knowledge and power and education would benefit the society because it would produce properly trained and motivated citizens. Many would say that education is power and where there is no knowledge, people perish. Education must be granted to a child despite their legal status.
