CONVENTION ON CHILD RIGHTS AND EDUCATION
CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION
A. Background
Children have the same human rights as adults. In addition, they also have specific
rights, namely children's rights to meet their special needs.
With their specific characteristics and characteristics, as well as their mental and
physical vulnerabilities, children need care and attention, so that every child can grow and
develop optimally both physically, mentally and socially. In order to realize children's
welfare and provide guarantees for the fulfillment of their rights and for treatment without
discrimination, institutional support and laws and regulations are needed to guarantee the
implementation and guarantee children's rights in particular.
The beginning of the movement of the idea of children's rights began with the
movement of women activists who protested and asked for public attention for the fate of
children who were victims of war.
One of these activists, namely Eglantyne Jebb (founder of Save the Children), then
developed a ten-point statement on children's rights or a draft declaration of children's
rights (Declaration of the Rights of the Child) which was adopted by Save the Children in
1923. Funds International Union. Then in 1924 for the first time the Declaration of the
Rights of the Child was adopted internationally by the League of Nations. This declaration
is also known as the Geneva Declaration.
B. Problem Formulation
1. What are the types of children's rights?
2. What is the definition of the convention on the rights of the child and education?
C. Purpose
1. Know the types of children's rights
2. Know the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Education
CHAPTER II DISCUSSION
, A. Types of children's rights
The convention on the rights of the child ratified by the United Nations (UN) is an
important agreement between countries that promise to protect children's rights, from the
womb to the age of 18. In its 54 articles, there are rights that must be realized so that
children can develop their full potential. These articles are summarized in four general
principles to realize equal values while guaranteeing the protection of children, namely:
1. Non-discrimination
All children should be able to enjoy their rights without being subjected to any
discrimination, regardless of parent or caregiver, race, colour, sex, language, religion,
political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, poverty, disability, birth, or
other states.
Refugee children who move to other countries must also receive assistance and
protection. They also have the same rights as children born in the country.
2. Best Interests for Children
When adults make decisions, they must consider the impact on children. This is
because every government policy, from education to public health, will affect children.
Policy making that does not take children into account will have a negative effect on the
future of all members of society.
3. Children's Rights to Live and Develop
This principle is most directly related to the economic and social rights of children.
Not only the right not to be killed, but also the right to education, the right to nutrition, the
right to health, and so on.
Because they are still developing, children are vulnerable to poor living conditions.
The effects of disease, malnutrition and poverty threaten the future of children and will
impact the future of the communities around them.
