Y mae Erthygl 28 Cytundeb y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar Hawliau’r Plentyn yn ymwneud â hawl plentyn i addysg:

Mae gan blant yr hawl i addysg. Dylai disgyblaeth mewn ysgolion barchu hunan-barch dynol plant. Dylai addysg gynradd fod am ddim. Dylai gwledydd cyfoethog helpu gwledydd tlotach i gyflawni hyn.*
