The best investment

The main thing that changed is people's access to education.

By Emilio P. from Guadalajara 1 in Mexico

The main thing that changed is people's access to education. Education has become the main priority for the world, to inform people about their rights, about the mistakes of the past, about love and kindness, about the individuals who challenged the status quo to bring us into the classroom. The world realizes that education is the only way to save ourselves from ignorance, from racism, from hatred, from corruption, from our mistakes, from climate change. Education is the only manner to eliminate gender inequality, to reduce poverty, to create a sustainable planet, to prevent needless deaths and illness, and to foster peace.

Nelson Mandela is my inspiration for this, the man whose famous quote resonates everyday with me "“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” It is a reminder that education is everything. It is the cure for ignorance, it is the road to safety, the answer to our prayers.
