Policies in relation to children's education in England.

Very briefly discuss the context of the case study (if not already done in the introduction).
Case study will only be a starting point for you. You will be expected to read and research
more around that particular area/ topic/country/context.
● Give a general account of the social construction of childhood in the chosen case study. How
is childhood represented in the case study, for example, children as vulnerable, children as
active participants, children as empowered section of the society, children as criminals,
children as victims, etc (or a combination of different views). Discuss further. How can you
say that? Where is the evidence? The evidence can come from the case study itself and from
your wider reading, for example, laws and policies around childhood in that country/context.
● What national and/or international laws govern children’s experiences in the case-study
context? You can refer to the UNCRC for an international framework of rights (or the African
Charter on The Rights and Welfare of the Child, if looking within the African contexts) and
research the national/ local laws and policies in relation to the case-study topic. For example,
if the case study is on child labour in India, then research the Indian laws and acts in relation
to child labour (and the policies and laws designed by the International Labour OrganisationILO); if the case study is on children’s education in England, then research the laws and
policies in relation to children's education in England.
● Critically analyse the experiences of child/ children in relation to domestic/national and
international laws and policies. You can refer to Bronfenbrenner bio-ecological perspective, if
relevant.
