Rumusan
Kesemua peruntukan-peruntukan negara dan antarabangsa ini menunjukkan pendidikan adalah
penting dan harus disediakan dengan mengambilkira faktor budaya dan cara hidup komuniti,
penggunaan bahasa sendiri dan tidak ada diskriminasi. Akses kepada pendidikan merupakan
hak asasi manusia dan pendidikan mempunyai kuasa untuk mengubah. Negara seharusnya
memenuhi tanggungjawab hak kanak-kanak mendapat pendidikan khasnya di peringkat sekolah
rendah dan memberi mereka kemahiran yang mereka perlukan untuk meneruskan pendidikan
sepanjang hayat.
