Human Rights Education: Centre Fellow Alison Struthers cited in the Times Educational Supplement
In an article featured in the Times Educational Supplement on 8 January, Henry Hepburn summarises research carried out by Alison Struthers of the Centre for Human Rights in Practice into Human Rights Education in teacher training programmes at Scottish universities. Alison has recently published an article based on the research findings in the Scottish Educational Review. She investigates whether the paucity of Human Rights Education within teacher training programmes is related to, or is the reason for, the broader negative attitudes of some teachers towards human rights, and argues that better Human Rights Education provision in teacher training is necessary for improving the current situation.
