Going forward, more detail about the role of critical human rights in the higher education sector may be beneficial.

Set Up

More than 50% of residents of Brazilian largest cities agree with the phrase a "good bandit is a dead bandit," but at the same time recognize the universality and relevance of human rights. This apparent paradox can only be unveiled by human rights education (or EDH), which is consolidated as public policy in that its bases its actions in bringing about constitutional principles, assuming a role of extreme importance, not only because of allowing to citizens to have contact with the contents of these DH concepts, but also because they are objectives of education recognized in the Constitution, the full development of the person, his preparation for the exercise of citizenship and his qualification for work such goals only being achieved with an education to enable individuals to understand their own humanity. It intends to explore this public policy by addressing the "policy cycle", which is used as a methodological standard approach, in order to answer the question on how to set up the cycle of public policies for HRE in higher education, and to what extent public policy can contribute to the installation of a new culture of human rights.

United Nation

The United Nation created the World Programme for Human Rights Education to advance implementation of human rights education (HRE). This study is an exploration of some aspects of the Second Phase of the Programme as it pertains to the incorporation of human rights education into higher education settings. It concludes that there is a global attempt to integrate HRE into higher education, particularly at the course level in medical, legal, and political departments. Content and pedagogical approaches vary significantly. The role of higher education in stimulating HRE research is under-developed. Higher education has a powerful opportunity to do much more to integrate and advance HRE in the future.

Save The Children

The purpose of this article is to analyse and discuss Selma and the Quest for the Perfect Faith, a TV series made by The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation and promoted for use in schools, and the accompanying teaching material about freedom of religion made by Save the Children. We discuss the series and material critically from a human rights and a human rights education perspective, and evaluate their suitability for use in religious education. The article is informed by mediatisation theory and argues that freedom of religion is primarily operationalised in accordance with journalistic criteria for presenting religion, and that it does not sufficiently balance the rights of children and the liberty of parents. This is inconsistent with sound human rights education and highlights the need for critical awareness when operationalising educational material produced and distributed by media actors for use in the classroom.

The Impact

The chapter explores the impact globalization has created for the higher education sector, looking at how the landscape evolved across the world and how the role of universities has been transformed. Extending the analysis further, there is an investigation of how institutions have tried to respond to the emerging challenges and opportunities presented as a consequence of the shifting field. The focus then moves to the African continent and peruses the particular development of higher education under the influence of colonial legacy and globalization, examining how institutions have endeavored to adapt. The chapter draws to an end with a reflection of the main issues, inherent limitations, and how the research agenda could be taken further.
