National Education Plan for Human Rights

The National Human Rights Education Plan (PNEDH) was a plan of goals and action developed by the National Commission for Human Rights Education (CNEDH) in a deliberative and participatory process, and approved by the Coordinating Commission of the National Human Rights System. Public Education (CCSNEP) in December 2016. It fulfills the mandate of the national strategy for the National Public Education System (SNEP) to guide public policies on human rights education. The plan outlines four main goals: to build a culture of human rights, to guarantee environments for coexistence and learning, to raise awareness about the development of rights, in the country, and to strengthen the institutional framework for human rights. The plan is the result of a participatory debate developed between 2013 and 2014 in two ways: a website where contributions could be sent for the preparation of the Plan, and four regional face-to-face instances of debate organized by the Departmental Education Commissions.
