Child empowerment enables children to act on issues that are important and relevant to them, it develops their confidence and leadership skills, and gives students the belief to play a greater role in school life and pursue their ambitions both now and in the future. But should students be involved in school decisions about wellbeing, curriculum and spending?
The OECD’s latest publication, ‘What Does Child Empowerment Mean Today?‘ dives into these and other issues.
During this launch webinar, OECD Secretary General Mathias Cormann and OECD Director for Education and Skills Andreas Schleicher presented insights from the report, backed by OECD data and contributions from diverse stakeholders. Watch the recording to discover how children in OECD countries are actively participating in decisions that impact their lives and learn about the urgent policy concerns facing education systems in the 21st century.
