Abstract: The quality of education worldwide is dwindling which is a worrisome problem because it denies students their human right to education but also gives students an inadequate one. All students deserve the right to access resources so that they can achieve their dreams and have the opportunity to go to prestigious schools, which help guide and provide them with important resources and opportunities. Talking from my experience, as someone whose high school didn't provide much resources, I had to work harder than other students so that I could go to MIT. I am grateful for the chance to talk about the importance of giving all students from around the world an equal opportunity to a strong education to help make the future leaders of tomorrow.
