Extension of Human Rights to Education

Thoughts and Recommendations on Extending Education Rights in UN Declaration Of Human Rights (article series)

PROJECT GOAL

INVITATION FOR COLLABORATION

Perhaps we have an opportunity. It might be a small one, but it gives hope to all societies, countries, regions, groups and communities. Above all, it gives hope to each and every individual.
This opportunity is education. Education means a range of things: teaching and learning, knowledge and skills, schools, understanding the world, understanding other people, and understanding oneself. It means the ability to work with others to shape this world; to find and develop common ground where controversy prevails. Education means recognizing the lives of others as legitimate ways of living, thereby preparing the ground for peace. continue>>
