Australian Human Rights Commission Information for LOI – Australia, 29 August 2016 127. There remains a need for ongoing human rights education across all areas of the public sector particularly as funding for these initiatives has ceased. Further education is also needed in the administration of justice and places of detention, within the tertiary and vocational education sector, across the community and in schools. 128. There remains limited explicit reference to human rights throughout the national school curriculum. While there are references to civil rights and women’s rights movements together with reference to respectful relationships, bullying and harassment, these are scattered and are at times not articulated as human rights issues. The coverage of economic, social and cultural rights as human rights is even more limited. 129. The Commission notes that Australia’s activities for the World Program for Human Rights Education have been ad hoc and uncoordinated. 130. Issues for consideration in the LOI: • Information on the provision of human rights education in the national school curriculum, in particular, with regard to economic, social and cultural rights. • Details of the extent of human rights training that is provided to all professions and sectors having a direct role in the promotion and protection of human rights, including judges, lawyers, civil servants, teachers, law enforcement officers, migration officers, the police and the military. • Information on government support for human rights education initiatives, including the World Program for Human Rights Education and targeted initiatives for public officials and schools. 23
