Ensuring Canadian children have an understanding of their rights, and how to respect the rights of others, creates more equitable societies with engaged citizens.  There is no better place to foster such a culture of respect and citizenship than in our schools. 

UNICEF Canada is committed to ensuring that the decisions, policies and practices in our education system are made through the lens of children’s rights.
