What is human rights education (HRE)? How is HRE implemented in our educational system? Can we clarify its implications and formulation by rewarding quality lesson plans and by the operation of the Advisory Group for Human Rights Education? As a primary school teacher, the author expects more clarifications through thinking and debating HRE. This article criticizes a lesson plan, which won a prize from the Nylon Cheng Liberty Foundation and which is shared in various HRE workshops. It also analyzes anxiety over HRE shown in the educational field. Furthermore, the author considers misunderstandings of HRE by examining the focal projects of the Advisory Group for Human Rights Education. This note criticizes the HRE implemented in primary and secondary schools in Taiwan. It aims to clarify what HRE is rather than frustrating educators who are contributing to the promotion of HRE. The author calls on educators, to seize the opportunities provided by the idea of transitional justice in Taiwan and guide their students to be concerned with human rights issues and to implement the idea of human rights and human rights education in the educational field. |
