    • 2013 July 19, Mark Tran, "Denied an education by war", The Guardian Weekly, volume 189, number 6, page 1: 
      One particularly damaging, but often ignored, effect of conflict on education is the proliferation of attacks on schools […] as children, teachers or school buildings become the targets of attacks.

    A good teacher is essential for a good education.

    • 2013 June 7, Joseph Stiglitz, "Globalisation is about taxes too", The Guardian Weekly, volume 188, number 26, page 19: 
      It is time the international community faced the reality: we have an unmanageable, unfair, distortionary global tax regime. […] It is the starving of the public sector which has been pivotal in America no longer being the land of opportunity – with a child's life prospects more dependent on the income and education of its parents than in other advanced countries.

    The educations our children receive depend on their economic status.
