Around the world Quote by Malala Yousafzai
““education is our basic right. Not just in the West; Islam too has given us this right. Islam says every girl and every boy should go to school. In the Quran it is written, God wants us to have knowledge. He wants us to know why the sky is blue and about oceans and stars. I know it’s a big struggle—around the world there are fifty-seven million children who are not in primary school, thirty-two million of them girls.””

![“Education had been a great gift for him [Ziauddin]. He believed that lack of education was the root of all the Pakistan's problems. Ignorance allowed politicians to fool people and bad administrators to be reelected. He believed schooling should be available for all, rich and poor, boys and girls.” quote by Malala Yousafzai](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5a1/malala-yousafzai-808_administrators_education-had-been-a-great-gift-for-him_164406.jpg)
