2024 January: Learning Planet Festival 2024: Biggest Barrier to Rights Affirming Education and How to Dismantle it
From Rights-Centric Education
At the Learning Planet Festival 2024, on the International Day of Education (January 24), Sifaan Zavahir and Je'anna Clements hosted a session on "The Biggest Barrier to Rights Affirming Education and How to Dismantle it" highlighting Educational Paternalism as the main reason that all the good work in the international Rights discourse (especially on the Right to Education and the Rights of the Child) have not made a significant impact on educational practices - that of course predate the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
What was then called "Rights-Affirming" Education is what is now "Rights-Centric Education"
