Sadly in some areas of the world, this is not seen as a basic human right. Children, especially girls, are denied access to schools.

Malala is carrying on a fight for education that other countries have already fought and won. Tina explains how girls in her home country, United Kingdom, were once forbidden from going to school and when this changed.
