An Investigation into School Teachers' Understanding of Children's Rights and Their Use of Child Welfare Programs

Author(s): Rachel Pinnock

Abstract:

In addition to having specific rights that take into account their unique needs, children and adolescents also enjoy the same fundamental rights as adults. Children are neither the parents' property nor the hapless recipients of charitable donations. They are people with rights because they are people. The study's objective is to evaluate school teachers' understanding of and adherence to child rights. The descriptive research approach has been used. A self-structured instrument composed of open-ended and closed-ended questions was utilized by the researcher to examine the respondents' chosen sociodemographic characteristics. Data were gathered through a questionnaire. A variety of questions about socio-demographic characteristics, understanding of children's rights, and their implementation are included in the schedule. The questionnaire has 16 questions with "yes" or "no" responses as possibilities. Teachers are the study's intended target audience. Convenience sampling was employed by the researcher. There are 34 samples in the sample. Those who were willing to answer the questions satisfactorily and who agreed to participate in the study voluntarily provided the data. Google forms were used to collect the information. The survey will be sent to responders over WhatsApp. Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and Microsoft Word and Excel were used to examine the data that had been gathered. According to the study's findings, a child's awareness of the law can vary depending on their age and educational level.
