Samarth Sharma , Research Scholar Department of Education, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India

Abstract

This theoretical exploration delves into the convergence of education rights and sustainable development, unraveling the intricate web of their interrelationships. Education is not only a fundamental human right but also a powerful catalyst for sustainable development. By examining the theoretical underpinnings of how education rights can drive and support sustainable development goals, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the essential role education plays in fostering socio-economic progress, environmental stewardship, and global well-being.
