Abstract

In this chapter, children’s rights as defined in the Convention on the rights of the child are related to three models of schooling well known in the Western world. These theoretical models are the traditional, authoritarian school, the school based on traditional developmental psychology and the rights-based school. Aspects of these three models, therefore, may coexist in early years settings in Scotland and Greece and thus facilitate or hinder children from enjoying their rights. 


Keywords: Authoritarian school, Convention on the rights of the child, Participation rights, Protection rights, Provision rights, Rights-based school, Traditional-developmental-psychology-based school.
