Rights to Children

By: Shaconda Johnson

In the Convention of the Rights of the Child, Article 28 states, "States Parties recognize the right of the child to education, and with a view to achieving this right progressively and on the basis of equal opportunity." This semester I was focused on the rights of childern. For most of the semester Hameka and myself worked to research discrimination in school system. One of the ways we dicussed and raised awareness about this topic was through a focus group. In this focus group, we discussed discriminatory experiences/issues that former current students have dealt with in their educational careers.
