Strossmayer University of Osijek, Croatia Vonta, Tatjana, PhD, Associate Professor, University of Primorska, Slovenia Preface Education in agendas, politics and policies at a global level, has been recognized as both a, civil and human right. At this point, there are a vast amount of documents supporting this claim, yet a recent declaration on education, specifically Education 2030: Towards inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all explicitly suggests that “education is a public good, a fundamental human right and a basis for guaranteeing the realization of other rights” (UNESCO, 2015, iii). In that context, education is a right per se, and pillar for other rights in regards to one’s well-being. This dual nature in educational rights sometimes leads to misinterpreta- tions, indicating the need for interdisciplinary research which could contribute to emerging social dialogues between individuals (parents, children, teachers etc.) and societal structures, especially politics and law. Therefore, in the last 10 to 15 years, scholars have increasingly shown interest for research in the educational arena, with emphasis on the children’s perspective, concluding that children’s rights in an educational setting are question of quality of life, not just of particular child, but quality of life of its family, and society in general. In the heart of the educational arena are, children and teachers, which make their interpersonal relationships funda- mental quality issues. Relationships with peers, teacher and children interaction, relationship between teachers as co-workers, and quality of partnership with parents and local communities are contexts in which children rights come to life, i.e. edu- cation is a real-life context in which children can exercise their rights. To contribute to this issue, Faculty of Education in Osijek and Ombudsman for Children Croatia have prepared a monograph “Children’s rights in Educational Settings”. v Contents INTRODUCATION ...................................................................................................... ix Damir Matanović, Ksenija Romstein & Jozef Bushati: HALF A CENTURY OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN EDUCATION BY UNESCO: ADVOCATING ONE’S WELL-BEING FROM SOCIETY TO CLASSROOM AND VICE-VERSA ........................................................................................................ 1 Ksenija Romstein & Maja Gabelica Šupljika: NOT MY CRIME, STILL MY SENTENCE: RIGHTS OF CHILDREN OF INCARCERATED PARENTS IN EDUCATION .................................................. 13 Ana Babić Pezo & Tena Velki: THE PRACTICE OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN CROATIA ............................... 25 Vesnica Mlinarević, Maja Brust Nemet & Maja Kostić: STUDENTS' ATTITUDES ON PROMOTING RIGHTS IN PRIMARY EDUCATION ........................................................................................ 45 Emina Berbić Kolar & Igor Marko Gligorić: LANGUAGE RIGHTS OF CHILDREN ASYLUM SEEKERS AND ASYLEES IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA ........................................................... 67 Slagana Angelkoska & Gordana Stankovska: SPECIFICITY OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS IN FYR OF MACEDONIA .................. 81 Ksenija Romstein, Sanja Vladović & Daniela Žagar: WHAT IS KINDERGARTEN FOR?
