80. According to general comment No. 13, education is both a human right in itself and an indispensable means of realizing other human rights. As an empowerment right, education is the primary vehicle by which economically and socially marginalized adults and children can lift themselves out of poverty and obtain the means to participate fully in their communities. Similarly, the Committee states that the right to education is one of the vehicles by which the world can rid itself of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.
