The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has implemented a trial scheme with Amnesty International to introduce Human Rights Education programs into high schools and primary schools, and introduced the School Excellence Initiative, whichreviews ACT government schools on a three-yearly basis against criteria which include student involvement in active citizenship and a curriculum the promotes intercultural understanding and ethnic and gender diversity. Further, the Every Chance to Learn: Curriculum Framework for ACT also includes the role of international agreements and organisations in protecting human rights. |
