This essay is a written critique of an aspect of provision related to children’s rights. My topic is A comparison of Children’s Right’s to mainstream Education and Participation in Northern Ireland & China focusing upon SEN and Inclusion. You MUST discuss this in relation to international and national issues, and it should demonstrate your understanding of the requirements of Article 12. You must be critically reflective as a requirement to facilitate participation.
It is EXTREMELY VITAL that you always relate back to children’s Participation and whether this is denied or successfully implemented. Also Focus upon- Cultural and social influences (enculturation).
The essay must direct much focus on UNCRC ARTICLE 12 whilst also commenting on UNCRC ARTICLES 13, 28 and 29 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child focusing on a child’s right to an education and on the quality and content of education. You can also add any other relevant articles or acts linking to Education, SEN, or Inclusion.

I have provided all documents, literature, and powerpoints below which have been provided by the university and which are extremely important that they are used.
I have also attached a structure of how I would like my essay completed along with a marking grid provided by the university showing what must be done in order to obtain the highest marks.
I have also provided my last essay as I would like the section on Northern Ireland’s views and China’s views regarding education to be incorporated please. There is VITAL sections particularly for China on the historical view and Belief of Conficious so please include that.
Within the structure of my essay you will see an ‘introduction, normalcy, medical, social and rhizomatic models’. YOU DO NOT need to focus on these areas as I will writing these separate as I have an MA in DISABILITY STUDIES.
I would like the essay to soley be a CRITIQUE of Children’s rights to participation within mainstream education, focusing on SEN and inclusion, comparing the countries of Northern Ireland and China. I also want the above articles from the UNCRC effectively discussed, critiqued and relation to mainstream Education, SEN and Inclusion in Northern Ireland and China.
I have also attached my dissertation as it has some useful research in regards to children in NI so if a connection could be made here regarding their right to participate that would be great.
Finally, in regards to the language used I would like it to be clear, concise but also academic. With this being a high level it is important that the writing can highlight its meaning but sounding academic.
Furthermore, in regards to my work and title when the term education is used I mean it as mainstream education for children with SEN.
1) Section 8: Conventions.
Must be a separate section. More conventions should be mentioned (e.g. Equality Act).
2) Literature critique – seems to be absent. Must be a separate section.
3) Self-determined behaviour – must be discussed at the end, as in instructions.
Best regards, editor.
