A Study of Awareness About Human Rights Among Senior Seconday School Theachers in Relation to Their Sex and Experience

Man is the most developed of all species of life. Every human being irrespective of his caste, colour, creed or sex, is the delineation of that supreme power. He enjoys some fundamental and inalienable rights which are essential for life as human beings, called human rights. Human rights are the rights which are possessed by every human being irrespective of his or her nationality race, religion, sex etc. Human rights are sometime called fundamental rights or basic rights or natural rights. Since human rights are not created by any legislation, they resemble very much the natural rights. Great importance has been attached in the 20th century to the Human Rights issue in the international arena. So, it is of great need today that human rights education should be a vital part of curriculum. The teachers can play the key role in this regard. They themselves should be aware of these right and their implications so that they can impart this knowledge to the young minds. The present study is an attempt to know the awareness of senior secondary school teachers about the human rights.
