Undocumented students push for right to education, but Alberta noncommittal
Ariana Zapata’s favourite subject in school is social studies.
For the 13-year-old in Edmonton, this means lessons on historical societies, colonialism, how worldviews are developed and so on.
The eighth grader’s own worldview is still being built, but she has pillars in place: family, fight for what you believe in, don’t be too trusting and, critically, education is a right.
That’s why, when Zapata gets home from school every day, she passes on what she learned to her three younger siblings.
