Some people may view education as a privilege, not a right or something necessary. The idea that everyone has an equal right to education is a western perspective. If the society you live in does not value education or views that not everyone has the moral right to education, then you do not have the right to education. Key to arguments-> starting off with a principle, putting in factual evidence and then coming to a conclusion. Relativist would conclude there is no human right to: everyone has a speck of god, what a person needs, they are entitled to, everyone should be the person they want to be. Since everyone is god like, should be respected and treated equally, which calls for an equal right to education.
