The effect of children's rights training on primary school students' utilisation and knowledge level about children's rights

Recently, children's rights issue has taken attention. In this study, main purpose was to investigate the utilisation and knowledge level of 4th and 5th grade primary school students after children's rights training. The participants of this survey study were selected randomly from 10 schools. Results indicated that students had the chance to learn to defend their rights with the help of this training. Students generally expressed their rights for playing, education, protection from violence, not being forced to go to another country, and having an identity. Moreover, students shared what they learnt with their families, friends and they believed that adults (e.g. parents and teachers) generally respect their rights.
