Introduction
The intersection of education, psychology, and human rights plays a crucial role in shaping equitable and just societies by addressing both individual and systemic barriers to learning and development. Education serves as a fundamental human right, essential for personal growth, social mobility, and the empowerment of marginalized communities. Psychology provides insights into cognitive development, learning processes, and the emotional well-being of students, helping to create inclusive and supportive educational environments. However, systemic inequities, such as discrimination, trauma, and socioeconomic disparities, often hinder access to quality education. A human rights perspective ensures that education is not only accessible but also culturally relevant, free from discrimination, and supportive of diverse needs. By integrating these disciplines, societies can work toward educational systems that nurture both intellectual and emotional well-being while upholding the dignity and rights of all individuals.
