Global superstar Shakira called on the world's leaders Tuesday to boost investment in education for the earliest years of childhood and said that education is not a luxury but a human right.

"If we invest in a child from its earliest years, we're investing in his or her development and future success, not only in school but later in life," the Colombian singer said in an interview with EFE.
