Abstract

new legal frameworks evolve, individuals need to learn explicitly about their rights and responsibilities as citizens of both their country and the world, and this knowledge needs to be conveyed in such a way that individuals are also given the personal tools for acting upon these rights. Schooling is one mechanism for promoting the knowledge and practice of these democratic principles, and knowledge of human rights themes is part of the undergirding of democratic practice. I plan to present the imperatives and complexities of introducing human rights principles at the primary and secondary levels of schooling in post-communist societies. The lessons learned to date shed general light on the challenges endemic to planning for change in political education during a period of political transition. Three questions form the core of this paper.
