Future school administrators\' awareness of children\'s rights

Author

Abstract

In today's world, an important area of concern in school administrator education is to familiarize them with children's rights. Having laws to protect such rights is not enough, as their enforcement requires future school administrators to be aware of such laws and ways of implementing them. To see the extent of such awareness among future administrators, a random sample of senior students in Educational Planning and Administration was selected and the specially constructed questionnaire was administered. Findings indicate that the students surveyed do not have an adequate awareness of children's rights. It is suggested that the topic be included in the curriculum for the future administrators.
