How is education a property right?

Answer 1

Public education given by state law IS considered to be a property right. Both federal and state governments have an interest in "educated citizenry," since educated individuals are more capable of self-governance and contribute more fully to society. Federal government has given both the power and the duty to states in order to educate the individual. A public education is an entitlement given by the state to its citizens under state constitutional or statutory law. This is covered under Amendment X, "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people."

Answer 2

Education is a basic human right granted to every person by his or her government. Education is more of a necessity than a right because an uneducated person becomes a liability.
