Quality Education: A Right or a Privilege?

Saturday at 20:00 | Insight Talkshow with Pastor Torp

What are nations actually obligated to provide when it comes to education?

In tonight’s episode of  Insight, Pastor Jan-Aage Torp sits down with Professor Hadi Strømmen Lile, a leading legal scholar from Østfold University of Applied Sciences in Norway, to discuss the right to quality education and whether governments are meeting their responsibilities.

The conversation explores important questions facing both the Western world and the Global South:

• What does “quality education” really mean?
• Should the same educational standards apply to every nation, regardless of wealth?
• Are there examples in Norway where minimum educational standards are not being met?
• What challenges do Sami schools and Sami-speaking students face today?
• How can faith-based communities provide education that reflects their core values while maintaining excellence?

Professor Lile, who is of Sami and Persian heritage and a member of the Bahá’í faith, offers unique insights into education, human rights, and cultural identity.
