TITLE: Education as a human right: a theory of curriculum and pedagogy
AUTHOR: Vandenberg, Donald
PLACE OF PUBLICATION: New York, USA
PUBLISHER: Teachers College Press ISBN: 0807730297
YEAR OF PUBLICATION: 1990 NUMBER OF PAGES: 271 p.
LANGUAGE: ENG BIBLIOGRAPHY: no

CONTENT: This book develops a theory of the curriculum and pedagogy for common, general education. Assuming that value/moral education must be discussed before cognitive education, the book analyses the "current moral crisis" and seeks to synthesize in a theory of human rights ethics the perspectives of the ethical theories of Ross, Kant, Kohlberg, Marx and many others. This theory is then applied to the curriculum and to pedagogy in order to "respond educationally to the moral crisis", to justify the claim that education is a human right and to establish the content of the curriculum that is everyone's human right.

YEAR OF PUBLICATION: 1993 NUMBER OF PAGES: 45 p.
SERIES: Teacher bursaries scheme / Council for Cultural Cooperation
LANGUAGE: ENG BIBLIOGRAPHY: no

CONTENT: This is a report of the Council of Europe's 60th Teachers' Seminar on Citizenship Education in Secondary Education. Participants came from 16 member states. The main subject of the seminar was one of the most pressing problems facing European education today, namely that of developing approaches to education for citizenship which encourage tolerance and respect for justice and human rights and encourage positive attitudes towards participation in the democratic process. It was clear from the seminar that provision for citizenship education across Europe is patchy, fragmented and highly variable with countries adopting markedly different approaches to this subject. Almost everywhere there is a gap between the rhetoric of official policy and the reality in the schools where it is generally badly provided for in terms of curriculum time, resources and in-service training support. The seminar therefore provided an invaluable opportunity for sharing of experiences and enabled the participants to examine more objectively their own needs and priorities.

It discusses current problems in international law - choice of forum and choice of applicable law, substantive legal problems - strict or fault based liability and the extent to which a parent company should be held liable for acts of an overseas subsidiary, political complications - the possibility of home and host countries taking sides and of the host country being a joint tortfeasor - and the limits of available insurance. It suggests the kind of international indemnity fund that should be established.

TITLE: La dimension de genero en los proyectos de promoción a la mujer: necesidad y reto = The gender dimension in projects promoting women's rights: needs and challenges
AUTHOR: Backhaus, Annette
PLACE OF PUBLICATION: Lima, Peru
PUBLISHER: Editorial Hipatia ISBN:
DATE OF PUBLICATION: 1988 NUMBER OF PAGES: 299 p.
SERIES: Enfoques peruanos temas latinoamericanos / 11
LANGUAGE: SPA BIBLIOGRAPHY: yes

CONTENT: This is a study of work being done with women in low income sectors of Lima. Various women's projects have developed to reinforce the many women's organizations that have recently emerged in Lima in response to increasing poverty, and this study analyzes them according to their objectives, implementation and impact. The "collective dimension" developed in the organizations turns out not to be sufficient to question and overcome traditional patterns which are oppressive for women if in the project proposal the issue of gender is not specifically considered. This book might be useful for groups addressing gender issues particularly related to the promotion of women's rights.
