Abstract

In this chapter, children’s rights as defined by the Convention on the rights of the child are analyzed, since the Convention has been ratified by Scotland and Greece. According to the Convention, children have protection, provision, and participation rights. Some of the General Comments issued by the United Nations on children’s rights are discussed as they are related to young children’s education. It is evident that participation rights are more difficult to implement, as they imply more power for the children and acknowledgement of their competency
