This Programme was financially supported by the United Nations Programme for Human Rights. 2.3 Right to Human Rights Education As the National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) of Sri Lanka, the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) is obliged to promote human rights in the country in law, policy and in practice. Way back in 2007, the National Institute of Education (NIE) invited the HRCSL to work with the NIE to include human rights in to the education system, by introducing handbooks to teachers and university students as the first step and secondly by introducing human rights into the school curriculum. Therefore, including human rights into the school curriculum is a long overdue matter which was again emphasized in the recommendations by the Lesson Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) appointed to inquire into and report on the matters that may have taken place during the internal armed conflict situation and as well as in the Human Rights Action Plan for 2011 – 2016. The HRCSL invited the Lanka Association for the Advancement of Education (SLAAED) to provide their expertise and work with the Commission to include human rights in to the school curriculum. 14
