The "migrant crisis" has received a large media coverage addressing the ways to limit refugees' settlement in European countries. Although an increasing number of asylum seekers are or will be admitted in the different states, little attention is devoted to the receiving conditions in the countries of settlement. Yet, a great amount of the incomers involve families with children, so that the schooling issue should be regarded as a major challenge for the receiving countries. Indeed, according to the largely ratified Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), the right to education has to be implemented irrespective of the family legal status. In this paper, we will show that systematically evaluating these pupils' resources and needs in their mother tongue should be regarded as a key for their adequate orientation into the new school system. We will report situations ranging from illiteracy to unexpected skills acquired through informal schooling or makeshift means. Moreover, on the basis of a series of interviews with the families of newly arrived pupils, we will highlight the schooling impairments these children have experienced in their home country or during their fleeing journey. We will contend that identifying these pupils' needs and resources is a decisive tool against their undiscriminated relegation into special structures, as a result either of stereotyping or of teachers' feeling of helplessness -which are often intertwined.

A child’s right to education within the family according to Imam Syafi’i and its significance for early childhood  education in Indonesia This research is based on library research on the rights of the child to education within the family from the viewpoint of Imam Shafi’i, and the impact of his teachings on early childhood education in Indonesia. The study is interesting because the first schools to appear in Indonesia were of the Syafi’i tradition. Imam Syafi’i jurists and ushuliyyin have collections of poems that express the need to develop education in early childhood. Despite this, the theory of children’s education in the school of Imam Syafi’i is under researched. This study examines three research questions. First, how does one undertake a  biography of the thought of Imam Syafi’i and Imam Syafi’i school of thought. Second, what is the concept of children’s rights in the family in the view of Imam Syafi’i. And third, is there reference to  early Childhood education that implies the concept of children’s rights to education in the view of Imam Syafi’i. This study concludes that Imam Syafi ‘i in scientific rihlah is purely academic. Imam Syafi’i also elicits several important ideas on a child’s rights within the family, the right to education and the right to self-expression. Imam Syafi’i schools are relevaant to early childhood education in Indonesia in which these (religious education) schools are widespread.

As a member of the United Nations, Zambia is committed to the observance of human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. This is evidenced, among others, by the fact that Zambia is a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. Zambia has a permanent Human Rights Commission that includes a subcommittee on child rights whose focus is on child abuse and education. Zambia also has a National Child Policy and National Youth Policy whose main objectives are to holistically address problems affecting children and youth. This paper focuses on the progress and challenges currently facing Zambia and the role of open and distance learning in addressing those challenges.

The article presents the realization of the right to education, as set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in the Republic of Slovenia. At the outset, attention is drawn to the special status of the right to education, which is not only the right of children, but also adults. Moreover, the right to education is closely linked to the realization of all other rights. This article presents a general overview of the implementation of rights according to Articles 28 and 29 of the Convention. Then it outlines the problems with the implementation of the Convention in selected areas. The main points are related to the education of Roma children, the quality of knowledge, private education. The complexity of the problem of the realization of the rights of Romani children to education has been repeatedly pointed out in international RS reports on the implementation of the Convention. It is not so obvious, however, that the quality of the knowledge received by students in schools is also an aspect that should be considered from the perspective of the Convention. This article analyses the regulation of private schools: this is the area of education in Slovenia where the biggest normative and factual change has occurred in the period after the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The analysis shows that the arrangement is such that it satisfies the requirements set forth in the Convention.

Procedural Rights

Numerous entities in various procedural roles participate in the litigation proceedings for the exercising, denying and restoring of parental rights. The usual classification of litigation participants into subjects in a narrow, and subjects in a broader sense, may apply to such litigations. In the narrow sense, the subjects of the litigations are the litigation court and the litigants. In a broader sense, these are all persons who in any way participate in the litigation: interveners, counsel, witnesses, expert witnesses, interpreters, translators. Some of them participate in the proceedings to protect their own, and others to protect the rights and interests of others, and some are there to provide the necessary assistance in collecting the litigation material, present evidence, etc. Pursuant to the family laws, the capacity of a party in these proceedings, through the standardization of the right to the standing to commence an action, is assigned to the child, parents, custody authority and the public prosecutor. However, these are only potential, but not necessary participants in these proceedings. The proceedings may also be initiated and conducted without all the participants of the family-legal relation participating in them. As a rule, there is no participation of the child as a party, although, essentially, the child's right to live with parents and to have (adequate) parental care is the central theme of the proceedings. In all of these litigations, in fact, legal protection is afforded to the rights of the child arising from the parent-child relationship, namely from the rights and duties of the parent towards the child. This paper critically analyzes the national regulations governing the position of the child in litigation proceedings in the legal matters of exercising, denying and the restoring of parental rights, with a view to determine whether, and to what extent, the solutions contained in those regulations comply with the postulates of a fair trial, enable the exercise of a child’s right to participate in the proceedings that are to decide on the issues that affect him/her and provide effective protection of his/her procedural rights.

The Right

The right to use one's mother language is affected by examining the nature of this right in the international human rights system. Speaking of linguistic rights requires examining this right in the context of general human rights and the rights of minorities. On the one hand, the right to use one's mother tongue is rooted in the “right to be different,” which itself is inspired by human dignity, and, on the other hand, because the linguistic rights of the majority are better guaranteed than the linguistic rights of the minority. This chapter examines the right to use one's mother tongue in the minority system; therefore, language rights can be divided into two approaches based on tolerance, which prohibits any interference with the choice of language and its use by governments, as well as an extension-based approach that seeks to protect the right to use language in various fields such as education, court, public arena, and government institutions.

Abstract While the broader ambition of the Indian government’s Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act (2009) has been lauded, scholars have expressed reservations with the universal education measure. One area that has not been adequately addressed within these debates is the instructional medium. While RTE (2009) recognizes children who are “disadvantaged” as linguistic minorities, and stipulates that the “medium of instruction shall, as far as practicable, be in child’s mother tongue”, it offers little further direction. India is home to more than 1,652 languages, but only 43 languages function as instructional media. Therefore, the majority of children learn in a tongue that is not their home language, experiencing serious educational disadvantages. How this issue complicates the intent of the RTE (2009) Act remains to be explored. This article examines this gap using the theoretical lens of dis-citizenship, which is conceptualized in terms of exclusions experienced by marginalized groups. Here, we focus on those marginalized by the language of instruction. We investigate questions about language access, inclusion, equity, and rights arising from RTE (2009), within the narrative of India’s complex, hierarchical multilingualism.

The objective of the study was to identify the legal mechanisms for the protection of the family rights of the child and to outline the main problems of their implementation. The child's family rights system was found to contain the child's intangible basic rights, which establish his or her legal status in the family. This system includes the child's right to life, name, citizenship, knowledge of his parents, care of parents, coexistence with parents, preservation of his identity and citizenship, free expression of his own views. It states that the protection of the family rights of the child and the legal relations of parents and children is based on four principles. It is determined that the practical solution of issues related to the exercise of the family rights of the child is regulated by international law, which makes it possible to resolve issues related to the legal relationship between parents and children at the inter-State level. It is concluded that perspectives on legislative support for the family rights of the child demand further empirical research, as well as a theoretical and methodological justification for determining the legal mechanisms of their practical implementation.

The high divorce rate in Indonesia sometimes result with positive and negative trends. Positive trend meant the rise of women to defend their rights as a wife that is often abused by her husband so divorce is the best solutions and alternatives. Trend downside besides destroying a family structure also carries a psychological impact, especially children in addition to great effect in socio-civic life. Legal divorce just look at issues from both parties (husband and wife) only, while the other family members in this case the child is not involved. Though the realm of the family consisting of a husband and wife and children. Child has a fundamental right within the family and also have the right to intervene to prevent his parents' divorce because he was the main victim of the divorce itself. Required a special advocate to defend the interests and rights of the child in his parents' divorce given the level of skill in the legal act has not been adequate.
