From the 1934 International Conference on Education to the Millennium Development Goals, every child's right to free primary education was universally endorsed. It is well known that education is the salvation of struggling societies - beyond providing a well spring of knowledge - brings with it the best chance of defeating poverty, better parenting, better health, better nutrition, greater opportunity and a direct line to economic growth. From the UN to the World Bank it is agreed that free universal primary education is the ultimate vector of human progress. \\ From the 1934 International Conference on Education to the Millennium Development Goals, every child's right to free primary education was universally endorsed.
