Summary

As an ombudsman with over 15 years in the field of human rights, I place special emphasis on the role of the right to education—particularly in preparing children and youth for responsible citizenship in a free society, guided by the values of understanding, peace, tolerance, gender equality, and friendship among all peoples. I have learned that a key factor in achieving this goal lies in the active participation of children and youth themselves.
