Teaching Human Rights in Primary Schools delves into the important
issue of Human Rights Education (HRE) implementation, exploring the
nature and extent of HRE in education policy and practice in
English primary schooling, and seeking to understand the reasons
for deficiencies in practice in this area. HRE enables people not
only to identify rights violations in their own lives, but also
equips them with the knowledge, values and skills required to
accept, defend and promote human rights more broadly. An awareness
of human rights is therefore crucial, no matter what a person's
age, and as such it is vital that information about human rights is
included within formal education. Beginning with an overview of the
relevant international obligations and agreements related to HRE,
Struthers then demonstrates that these are ostensibly not currently
being met in either policy or practice in England. The book then
draws upon current literature and empirical research with teachers
to explore and analyse the barriers to HRE implementation. While
the book uses the specific context of English primary education, it
makes broad interdisciplinary recommendations concerning how the
provision of HRE could be improved, which will be relevant to other
countries instituting programmes of HRE or values and citizenship
education. Interdisciplinary in nature and addressing HRE at both
the international and domestic levels, this book will be of great
interest to scholars, researchers and postgraduate students in both
education and law. It will be of particular interest to those
engaged in the study of human rights, children's rights and
education law, as well as those interested in curriculum policy and
development, teaching methodologies and the sociology of education.
It should also be essential reading for teacher educators, teachers
and policymakers.
