Hi
I think the right word is obligation:
- I don't like cleaning the fridge, but it is my duty
- I'm looking after class 5 this afternoon, that is my responsibility
- I won't steal from the shop: it is a moral obligation

There is a policy named Compulsory Education in my coutry,which requires kids to receive a basic education. But I do agree with you that to learn well is not an obligation. Thanks again.
