Teacher-trainers in Armenia will learn how to design human rights
education that relates to students' daily life in a three-day course
that started today in Aghveran, Armenia.
"The school and education system is crucial in ensuring that future
generations are educated on human rights and fundamental freedoms. By
developing human rights learning we can help young people to exercise
and claim their rights in everyday life," said Ambassador Andrey
Sorokin, Head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan.
Some 35 teacher-mentors for secondary schools from different regions
of Armenia and specialists from the National Institute of Education
responsible for training social science teachers will also discuss
challenges and issues in planning, implementing and evaluating human
rights education in secondary schools.
One-day workshops will be held in all the regions to monitor the
impact of this course on the teaching and learning process as well as
to help spread the skills acquired to the broader teaching community.
The course is taught by the Armenian Centre for Democratic Education
- CIVITAS with the support of the OSCE Office in Yerevan. The
Office will also present the recently elaborated Guidelines in
Human Rights Education for Secondary School Systems developed
by the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights
http://www.osce.org/odihr/93969.
Human rights issues and themes were incorporated into state curricula
for secondary schools (grades 8 to 10) in Armenia in 2001. Since 2010
the OSCE has been working with the Ministry of Education and Science
to advance human rights education in formal and non-formal education.
