FUNDAMENTALS OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY IN EDUCATION

Product Description

Fundamental human rights are a constitutive element of democracy and thus need to be safeguarded and upheld. Because democratic practices in schools leave indelible imprints on the youth and become imbedded in the culture and ethos of a society (eventually finding expression in the life of a nation), it is imperative to establish a human rights culture in schools and enhance democracy in the education system. Fundamentals of human rights and democracy in education: a South African perspective  clarifies the interrelationship between fundamental rights, education and democracy.
