Document Summary
Schools and colleges as a focus for political mobilization. Children are conceived as belonging to the domestic sphere (and to schools), and thus not political. Formal political institutions exclude children (elections, parliaments, parties etc. ), but attempt to mobilize youth for their own ends. Every citizen has some right to participate in conservations. Concept of the way the world should run youth mobilized because they are so free. Large emphasis on educating students in schools about their civic rights. Crc (12. 1) specifies for children"s right to be heard, but politics implies that what they say ought to influence the world they live in. Children should be heard have some chance of changing things, being able to have a chance to change the world they live in. Children may be excluded from formal politics, but they have consistently shown an ability to be political. Children more engaged in politics than parents are.
