Every child has the right to get good education. Parents, communities, and governments are also aware that when children are educated they become aware of their rights, choices, and the confidence to work around those points for their own welfare. Education makes children self-sufficient individuals who can work their way towards a successful livelihood.
However, there are still millions of youth around the world that are missing out on education, making them vulnerable to aggression and oppression. Therefore, youth empowerment through education is being promoted by advocacy groups as a sustainable response. The Community & Individual Development Association (CIDA) believes that a blended approach to education is one way of giving children the education that will protect them.

Founded by The Maharishi Institute, the blended approach utilizes the combination of technology, distance education, and contact education. It also employs a consciousness-based education system that helps learners finish school with enough skills necessary to qualify for the jobs they desire. Consciousness-based education focuses on the students and not solely on the learning materials. The system connects the knowledge gained to how the students relate to that knowledge, and how it is applicable to their surroundings.
Investing heavily in education can lead to economic gains. But that is only a byproduct of the primary goal of nurturing a sense of well-being and the protection of rights for the youth.
