Responsibility is a duty or obligation to satisfactorily perform or complete a task (assigned by someone, or created by one’s own promise or circumstances) that one must fulfill, and which has a consequent penalty for failure. Scholars also define it differently.
Responsibility is about our ability to respond to circumstances and to choose the attitudes, actions, and reactions that shape our lives. It is a concept of power that puts us in the driver’s seat. The grand panorama of the potential of our lives can only be appreciated when we begin to be accountable and self-reliant.

Responsible people not only depend on themselves, but show others that they can be depended on. This breeds trust, and trust is a key that opens many doors.
If you want more control over your life and the pleasures, prerogatives, and power of freedom and independence, all you have to do is be responsible.
The core of responsibility commence at home, when parents tend to control, provide their children with enough needs. Needs are classified as either Basic or secondary needs,be-sick needs like food, clothing and shelter should not be ignored by the people responsible.
Secondary needs most of the times are only met fully by merchants while poor families only concentrate on basic which a times becomes very difficult due to financial strains .
I have specialized on family program which mostly starts at 9 pm ,i have made a lot of observations based on certain mishaps faced by today families, on Tuesdays anything pertaining to issues of child upbringing becomes my topic of discussion.
In the past , any person could be responsible especially when a child was not on the right path, today that action is purely contrary to the will of most parents including the government.
Across the world, more than 120 million children and adolescents are absent from class.
In recent years, many countries have been part of international and regional political drives to ensure that all children have access and complete education in the countries that lag behind the most. Such efforts have had some success, with tens of millions entering primary education, and more girls staying in school and pursuing secondary education, improving gender parity in more countries.

Yet despite these and other advances, warnings sounded by the UN and global policy experts indicate that the global progress in education has “left behind” millions of children and young people. More children and adolescents are at risk of dropping out of school, and many are at school facing unsuitable learning conditions.
Behind this failure stands governments, which bear responsibility for ensuring that no child or young person is without education, and lack of focus—both in implementation and in content—in development agendas on governments’ human rights obligations.
Girl child education has always been given more focus forgetting a boy child,the government tend to believe that girls are vulnerable not knowing that education is more basic to both gender.
