With PISA tables, accountability, and performance management
pulling educators in one direction, and the understanding that
education is a social process embedded in cultural contexts,
tailored to meet the needs and challenges of individuals and
communities in another, it is easy to end up in seeing teachers as
positioned as opponents to the 'system'. Jerome and Starkey argue
that the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
(UNCRC, 1989) can provide a pragmatic starting point for educators
to challenge some of these unsettling trends in a way which does
not set up unnecessary opposition with policy-makers. They review
the evidence from international evaluations, surveys and case
studies about practice in human rights and child right education
before exploring the key principles of transformative and
experiential education to offer a robust theoretical framework that
can guide the development of child rights education. They also draw
out practical implications and outline a series of teaching and
learning approaches that are values informed, aligned with
children's rights and focused on quality learning.
