This Self-assessment Guide aims to assist Member States in increasing teaching and learning about human rights throughout primary and secondary education, as a key component of achieving quality education for all. The Guide builds on the Plan of Action for the First Phase (2005– 2009) of the World Programme for Human Rights Education, developed by experts and practitioners in human rights education in primary and secondary schools. While the first phase ended in 2009, numerous challenges remain and the World Programme, therefore, encourages Member States to continue their efforts to implement human rights education in primary and secondary school systems.
