Child Rights, Classroom and School Managment

The overall objective of the course, from a development perspective is:

“ to enhance the right to relevant education to all – an education that empowers the poor and excluded parts of the population to participate as active and informed citizen in all aspects of development. “

The course should stimulate the transformation of conventional top-down approaches into participatory rights-based, learner-friendly and gender sensitive approaches to teaching and learning.

The goals of the training programme are:

To develop skills, understanding and attitudes in favour of rights-based educational work at classroom and school level, taking into consideration the experience of the participants, a comparative perspective and the Convention of the Rights of the Child, Education for All (EFA) and other internationally agreed declarations.

To stimulate and contribute to the development of methodologies in the area of child rights in classroom and school management at country level.

To familiarise participants with Swedish and other international practices at school and classroom levels in relation to democratic principles and human rights.
