Paragraph
Paragraph text
That the importance of education is not only a right in itself, but also is essential for the enjoyment of all other rights must be recognized in the post-2015 development agenda. As already mentioned, poverty cannot be eradicated without education. The key role of education should be clearly recognized for the empowerment of women and girls. Unemployed youth and adults require additional education and training to develop skills and find decent work. Education can promote values necessary for creating democratic, stable and peaceful societies.
