Childrenʼs Rights and Education International Perspectives

«The editors have assembled a thought-provoking and intellectually engaging collection of essays that demonstrate the benefits that flow from the adoption of a rights-based approach to education in a range of diverse social, cultural, linguistic, and religious contexts. This book deserves the attention of anyone genuinely concerned with the realisation of a child's right to education.» (John Tobin, Professor, University of Melbourne, a leading children's rights expert)
«Be aware! Education and children's rights are taken seriously in this book. The topics, important and frequently controversial, are illuminated by research, expertise and passion - with particular emphasis on social justice, inclusion, evolving capacities, child agency, and best interests. A rigorous exploration and debate of critical issues is launched and encouraged. The reader is likely to strongly agree and disagree at numerous points - and to be stimulated to do more - all to the good in finding the way forward.» (Stuart N. Hart; Deputy Director, International Institute for Child Rights and Development; Co-Director of Child Rights Education for Professionals (CRED-PRO))
