FYI: |
Theme: “The Right to Education: Reaching Every Child.”
The right to education has been universally recognized since
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948; however,
the right to education is still not integrated into many
national frameworks.
While the vast majority of countries have signed up to support,
and have ratified, such international conventions at the
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, ensuring that these
rights are realized, in practice, is still an urgent global
challenge for every nation.
Millions of children worldwide remain deprived of educational
opportunities or of receiving a quality education. This
conference will challenge presenters and attendees to consider
these issues and offer solutions. |
