A School for Children with Rights

Submitted by crinadmin on

Innocenti Lecture 2

This paper analyses, in the light of the Convention, eight areas
for progressive reform: universal access, equal opportunities, the
appropriate content of education, cultural roots and global
values, new methods of learning, mutual respect, pupil
participation, and the role of teachers, parents and the
community. It also examines the problems both of implementing
and paying for such reform. The analysis throughout draws upon
the practical experience of States Parties in implementing the
Convention in their schools. The author concludes that the
Convention provides a useful agenda for creating a school that is
child-friendly and which provides the most effective learning.
