, Write a short paragraph in which you describe what is depicted on the cartoon. (4 marks)
The cartoon depicts a group of individuals, seemingly students and a teacher, gathered under a
tree in an outdoor setting. A sign labeled "RIGHT TO EDUCATION" is nailed to the tree,
prominently displayed. In front of the group, there's a dilapidated chalkboard or screen, with
holes in it, suggesting a lack of proper educational facilities. One person in the foreground
appears to be asleep, indicated by "NN". An older person is seen knitting, further suggesting an
informal or resource-poor learning environment. The overall scene conveys a stark contrast
between the proclaimed right to education and the reality of its implementation.
What message does the cartoon convey? Give a reason for your answer by referring to the
cartoon. (3 marks)
The cartoon conveys the message that the "RIGHT TO EDUCATION OFTEN MEANS LITTLE
IN PRACTICE". This is evidenced by the stark contrast between the prominent sign proclaiming
the "RIGHT TO EDUCATION" and the actual learning environment depicted. The dilapidated
chalkboard , the outdoor setting under a tree, and the visible signs of disengagement (like the
person sleeping or the person knitting) all illustrate that while the right may exist on paper,
adequate resources and conditions for effective education are severely lacking.
Who might be the intended audience for this cartoon? Justify your answer. (3 marks)
The intended audience for this cartoon is likely
policymakers, governments, and the broader public (including international organizations
and civil society). The cartoon critically highlights a societal issue – the gap between the
declared right to education and its practical implementation. It aims to provoke thought, raise
awareness, and potentially spur action among those with the power to influence educational
policies, resource allocation, and human rights advocacy. It challenges authorities to address the
injustices portrayed.
4. Write an essay of about 500 words in which you discuss the injustices portrayed in the
cartoon. Your essay must suggest 3 justifiable strategies a government can use to address
the injustice portrayed in the cartoon. Also cite any 3 relevant, credible and accessible
sources to substantiate your argument. (40 marks)
Essay: The Gap Between Right and Reality in Education
The cartoon vividly illustrates a profound injustice: the chasm between the constitutional right to
education and its grim reality in practice. While a sign proudly declares "RIGHT TO
EDUCATION", the scene unfolding beneath a tree reveals a setting devoid of the fundamental
resources necessary for meaningful learning. This depiction of a dilapidated chalkboard, an
outdoor classroom, and disengaged learners underscores a systemic failure to uphold the promise
