A Qualitative Study of Optimal Human Rights Education in the Iranian Legal System from the Perspective of East and West Azerbaijan University Professors

The right to education is a fundamental human right and governments are obliged to provide it free of charge, at least in the form of basic education, to the people of their community (Article 26 1 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights), which is, of course, common to all governments and it is mentioned in the constitutions of most countries, including the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is also mentioned in Article 30. In this regard, in the present study, we tried to examine the desired model of human rights in Iran from the perspective of its education among the faculty members of East and West Azerbaijan universities.

The research method is a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. Type of data is Quantity Which chosen among 54 people, 38 university professors with snowball method in Eastern and Western Azarbayjanhay practices and questions have been raised. Data were collected in such a way that the validity and reliability of research questions were assessed using semi-structured interviews.

Human rights education activities require material costs and planning in various areas of formal education that can foster right-wing thinking among members of society. Also, the most basic step in fulfilling human rights obligations is to teach it to students in schools so that the culture of peace and human rights can be confidently internalized in the minds of the next generation of society, from the very beginning of civil life.

An examination of the Iranian legal system shows that the Charter of Civil Rights does not show human rights education or citizenship in schools, which is a big mistake. To address this weakness, the inclusion of human rights units in schools is essential. The governmentchr('39')s lack of serious will to promote human rights sends a message to Iranian civil society that it has taken the initiative and address human rights education among the most vulnerable, including women, children, minorities and the disabled throughout the country, especially in less developed areas.
