The 10 Member Curriculum Development Committee is headed by Prof.I.Devasahayam, who was the former Director of Institute of Human Rights Education for 15 years. Many of the committee members were earlier involved in the development of human rights education modules for IHRE and conducted a series of human rights education programmes for school and college students. There are also five experts to assist the committee by way of providing inputs and feedback on the lessons prepared. The Curriculum Development Committee had its meetings thrice in 2021. Their rich experiences in the field were very useful in preparing the module for schools.
The Curriculum Development Committee prepared Module 1 for school programme. It contains eight lessons, each lesson with specific objectives and an introduction to the lesson. The module contains a lot of case studies and real stories, besides quotes and facts related to the topics. At the end of each lesson, there are group exercises for children to understand their grasp and comprehension of the topic. The lessons prepared are aimed at ensuring child participation in the class rooms and developing rights perspective among the young minds.
