Law Enforcement for Children's Fundamental Rights Protection: A Case Study of Right to Education
Keywords:
law Enforcement, Fundamental Rights, Stateless People, Right to EducationAbstract
This research aims to study the law and policy provisions on fundamental human rights, the concept of the right to education and educational management for stateless children as well as the causes of problems of law enforcement for the protection of the right to education according to the law. This study adopted the qualitative research method to seek answers for each issue by collecting and analyzing information from relevant documents.
The study found that the right to education was recognized and protected by the law. However, the Office of the Basic Education Commission had problems of education management for stateless children including legal and operational problems of education management. The relevant authorities could not provide the education management effectively for stateless children and lacked effective implementation of education management including student database and budget allocation per capita. These factors affected the recognition of the right to education for stateless children.
The author suggests that the relevant authorities should apply the international law on the right to education of stateless children to introduce a national law. The Office of the Basic Education Commission should prepare policies, educational development and promotion plans of private organizations as well as pushing for ministerial regulations on student surveys in educational institutions and criteria for auditing and monitoring budget expenditures according to the National Education Act.
