Human rights and education

Madam, - I am currently engaged in Ph.D. research into the protection of international human rights standards within the primary education systems in Ireland, North and South.

I am very interested to hear from parents and teachers who believe that the current systems of primary education undermine certain of their human rights, such as the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, the right to employment and the right to education.

I would welcome the opportunity to talk to such people and can be reached through the contact addresses below. - Yours, etc.,
