Education, HIV/AIDS and Rights of the Youth

Everyone has the right to education. But about half of the total populations are unable to read, write, speak and understand the facts in local language correctly in our country. On the other hand, a large number of populations are not capable of fulfilling their fundamental human needs such food, housing, and health and so on and the prevalence of HIV/AIDS among youths is comparatively higher than that of other developing countries. The lack of basic education among the majority of the population, especially the rural poor is also a major hindrance to the progress of human development. Poverty is the most influencing element that directly contributes to higher illiteracy rate and many children drop out from the school and engaged with various risky work. . On the other hand, education is the primary vehicle by which poor children, adults and their families can lift themselves out of poverty. It is also to note that youths are the motivating force of the society and. today’s youths are the leader of the future.
