It’s easy for some privileged people to take basic things like education for granted. After all why should they have to worry about how the under-privileged are taught, right? However, not everyone is the same. For instance, these celebrities are working towards making education free and accessible for all. They go out there, teach under-privileged students and spread awareness about the cause of education. Here are some of them talking about the importance of education and we have to admit, they make a lot of sense:
1. “Education is a cause I deeply care about because when I was growing up, education is what enabled me to follow my dreams and aspirations.” – Irrfan Khan
