right to an education vs. right to education

[Nicky_K]

Hello,

Which one is correct or sounds better? I have seen/heard both, so I am confused a little bit.

- right to an education
- right to education

Thank you

Both are correct, but "right to an education" is more all-encompassing, and is more generally used.

It depends on context. In the Human Rights Act, the rights are referred to without an article:

The right to life.
The right to education.
The right to family life.
The right to religious freedom.

mea culpa.

mea culpa.

You weren't being contradicted, Grumpy. You said 'Both are correct' and ems said 'It depends on context'.

You each gave a different context.

Quod erat demonstrandum.
