Abstract
This address to students emphasizes the right to education, “…when any person is denied their right to an education—because they are poor, or female, or live in the wrong village or neighbourhood—the injustice is doubly damaging. First, that person suffers the private loss of personal security and opportunity. And second, the whole society bears the lasting public cost of lost prosperity, lost chances.”
