Abstract
In this chapter, children’s rights as defined by the Convention on the rights
of the child are analyzed, since the Convention has been ratified by Scotland and
Greece. According to the Convention, children have protection, provision, and
participation rights. Some of the General Comments issued by the United Nations on
children’s rights are discussed as they are related to young children’s education. It is
evident that participation rights are more difficult to implement, as they imply more
power for the children and acknowledgement of their competency
Keywords: Convention on the rights of the child, General Comments, Greece, Participation rights, Protection rights, Provision rights, Scotland
