Introduce Human and Child Rights (covering the UNCRC) to the primary curriculum
The UNCRC are the basic rights of children. In 1992, these rights came into force across the UK.
The majority of students are unaware of such rights; they are clueless to the rights made specifically for them. This is wrong; and this is why teachers are getting away with violating our rights!
The UNCRC has 52 articles that are specifically designed for children and young people - these rights include things like the freedom to expression (article 13)...but one stands out, article 42 (knowledge of rights) which states the Government must actively work to ensure children know about their rights.
At present, there are no systems in schools which teach students of their rights; this completely goes against the UNCRC, thus reducing the chances of fair and just life.
This needs to change!
