The implementation of the rights of the child during adolescence 2016, para. 72
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Committee draws attention to its general comment No. 1 (2001) on the aims of education, in which it asserts the need for education to be child-centred, child-friendly and empowering and emphasizes the importance of a more collaborative and participatory pedagogy. Curricula for secondary education should be designed to equip adolescents for active participation, develop respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, promote civic engagement and prepare adolescents to lead responsible lives in a free society. To develop adolescents' fullest potential and keep them in school, consideration should be given to how learning environments are designed, to ensure they capitalize on adolescents' capacity for learning, motivation to work with peers and empowerment, and focus on experiential learning, exploration and limit testing.
