Recognising Children's Community Culture in their Education System!

The school should respects the child's parents ,cultural identity and human rights in general .All children should have relevant and meaningful education regardless of background,where they live and what language they speak.
Learning in their first language in early grades builds a vital educational foundations and boast children's confedence and self esteem.
The school must be the source of inspiration to promote acceptance and understanding of children who are different and give learners their intellectual and social tools needed to expose xenophobia ,sexism ,racism and other neglective attitudes.
The convention on the rights of the child must be viewed as a guide towards a more child centred model of teaching and learning, in which pupils are allowed to participate effectively to think and solve their problems on their own.
If for instance the children are required to sit in an overcrowed classroom and developed the needs are clearly not being fulfilled,then the teacher should an educational revolution guided by the conventions on the rights of the child.
It should have five key elements most of which interweave with each other and should be reinforced namely:Teaching and learning for life.Access ,quality and flexibility.
Gender sensitivity and girl Education.The state government as key partner and care for the young child.
Children's Rights and responsibilities:Children's rights are special case because many of the rights laid down in the conventions of the right of the child have to be provided by the adult or state,however the convention also refers to responsibilities of children in particular to respect the rights of especially their parents.
The children's reponsibility that accompany their rights are:
If every child regardless their sex ,ethnic origin ,social status ,language ,age ,nationality or religion has these rights then they have the responsibility to respect each other in human way.
If the children have a right to be protected from conflicts cruelity ,exploitation and neglect then they have also a responsibility not to bully or harm each other.
If children have the right to a clean environment they also have a responsibility to do what they can to look after their environment

If all children have a right to a full life ,then they should also lend help to the needy ,the disadvantaged and victims of discrimination so that they also enjoy this right.
