Task:
The right to an education is a basic right belonging to all children. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child enshrines this notion in Articles 28 and 29. And yet it seems that even in our relatively wealthy and developed nation, not all children’s needs are being served.
The educational needs of children with disabilities are often not catered for in a way which allows them to grow to reach their full potential as human persons. The story of Jake and Cooper highlights some of the issues.
