Childhood is a time for education, recreation, growth and discovery. All children and young people, regardless of their backgrounds, must have the opportunity to participate and engage in a school system and be equipped with the knowledge and skills they need for the future. According to the World Health Organization, âchild rights are fundamental freedoms and the inherent rights of all human beings below the age of 18. These rights apply to every child, irrespective of the childâs, parentâs or guardianâs religion, race, color, sex, or other statusâ. One of these rights is the right to education. Nigeria has high number of out-of-school children in the world; the number is put at about 13.2 million. Especially, in the Northern region, rural and poor communities deny their childrenâs rights to education, even though the Nigerian constitution and National Human Rights Commission gave them this right.
