Document Summary

Guaranteed education does not necessarily enable individuals to achieve their economic and social objectives and bring about responsible and active citizenship. Achieving a quality education is a challenge even in industrialized nations; large numbers of students in rich countries do not acquire the basic skills to be competent in today"s world. Attention must be paid on the relevance of the curriculum, role of teachers, and the nature of the learning environment: this contributes to increased retention and makes the education process more empowering, participatory, transparent, and accountable. We must also advocate the right to be free of discrimination if we want children to not be excluded for education. We must also pay due regard to children"s rights of health and well-being. Lack of adequate training for teachers that result in poor classroom management. Lack of knowledge of the benefits of positive discipline. Failure to understand harmful impact of physical punishment.
