Challenges in implementing the education course in the Pedagogical Faculty's educational programs

Abstract

Children must be the focal point of the state's strategy and action plan if sustainable development objectives are to be met. The enactment of the Child Rights Code, a complete legislative document that addresses all the key concerns relating to children's rights, is a significant development in the history of contemporary Georgia. At the same time, it imposes a great responsibility not only on the state, but on each of us, because it is the duty of each of us to contribute to its full implementation and implementation. In this way, we will be able to raise awareness of children's rights in society and establish new values ​​and norms. In order to develop new types of educators and pedagogues who can work with high standards of protection of children's rights, starting from pre-school education level, in all areas of the child's social activity, the role of higher educational institutions, in particular, pedagogical faculties, is especially important. In the month of July 2022, the study was planned at the Faculty of Pedagogy of Akaki Tsereteli State University, after the child rights syllabus "Child Rights, Theory and Practice" (in Georgian and English languages) was integrated into the Master's program "Educational Sciences" and 300 teacher training program with the support of the United Nations Children's Fund. The goals of the study were to determine whether students were satisfied with the course that was being offered; to determine how the course's objectives could be met; and, based on the analysis of the findings, to make improvements to the course. The research found the need for the course's instruction since training in advocacy and knowledge development is essential for safeguarding children's rights.
