Our Pupil Action Group recorded answers from a children’s rights quiz. We discussed the articles and what they mean for children, adults and governments.
Achieving – Article 1- Everyone under the age of 18 has all the rights in the Convention.
Article 2 – The Convention applies to everyone: whatever their race,
religion or abilities, whatever they think or say, whatever type of
family they come from.
Article 3 – The best interests of the child must be a top priority in all things that affect children.
Article 4 – Governments must do all they can to make sure every child can enjoy their rights.
