Aims of education

     IRC site

CRC Article = 29(1)
Note:
States Parties agree that the basic aims of the education of children are the development of the child's personality, talents, mental and physical abilities to their fullest potential and the preparation of the child for a responsible life. Education should also be directed to the development of respect for the child's parents, his or her own cultural identity, language and values and for the national values of the country in which the child is living and of the country from which the child may originate, and to the development of respect for different civilisations and the natural environment.
