Human Rights Schools

The 10 th and Upper graders at the School for Human Rights should be executed in India. This innovative unusual school will enable young to grow up within their neighborhoods, with dignity, respect and rights as well as on relevant issues that affect the local region.

The School for Human Rights started inNew York City in the last three years under a national movement to raise student achievement by shrinking school sizes becomes an example for Indian schools to follow.

We then begin not teaching the kids what to think, but to think. The school will strive to produce ``socially engaged young adults committed to equity, dignity and social consciousness.''

In association with other Human rights groups this will influence the educational curricula nationwide and help in the educational policy of the nation.

Students tackle topics from colonialism to the United Nations, from tracking census data on poverty in their neighbourhoods to the injustice and inequality reigning in the neighbourhood.

They will have a strong sense of justice which will contributye to organize school curriculum and activities in collaboration between teachers and students. This will gear towards their empowerment.

Classrooms can include students with varying academic abilities, which is one way to embrace a human rights ideal. This offers an integrated academic and social skills-based curriculum to challenge its students to think critically and become compassionate, socially engaged young adults committed to the practice of equity, dignity and social consciousness. Human rights values are evident not only in classroom teaching, but in the school’s commitment to meeting the educational needs of every student and practices such as 'discipline with dignity.' The government educational ministry should support teachers and other staff with resources and professional development.

The School can look upon the teaching practices that infuse human rights and extra-curricular activities like film festivals, workshops with human rights defenders, the after-school programmes, internet surfing on human rights, field trips, and celebrations of international days such as Holocaust Memorial Day (Shoah), Justice day, Labours Day etc..

Administrators will look for ways to apply the human rights framework beyond classes, discussing with school officials about conflicts, and students who commit infractions appear before a ``fairness committee'' and undergo mediation with others involved. We need to promote such programs all over the nation establishing human rights academies.

Students at The School for Human Rights can stay for an extra, elective class on law, imprisonment, death penalty and other subject matters.
