dc.description.abstractThe present study was undertaken to investigate the awareness level of parents and teachers regarding Child Rights and Protection. The study was conducted on a sample of 360 respondents comprising, 120 teachers and 240 parents (120 fathers and 120 mothers) of the selected 120 children, equally drawn from primary section of rural and urban private schools of Ludhiana District. A self-structured ‘Child Rights and Protection Checklist’ was used to assess the awareness level of selected respondents. Analysis of results revealed that irrespective of gender parents reported to have poor awareness across varying levels and dimensions of Child Rights and Protection. Further, the results indicated that rural and urban parents were at par in their awareness level. Majority of the teachers were also found to be poorly cognizant regarding the varying dimensions of Child Rights and Protection. However, locale-wise differences among teachers regarding Child Rights revealed that urban teachers were significantly better aware regarding some of the basic Child Rights as per the Indian Constitution but, no significant differences were observed with regards to the awareness of UNCRC, 1989 as well as the JJ Act, 2015. Whereas, contrasting to the other findings of this study it was found that rural teachers were significantly more knowledgeable than their urban counterparts regarding some of the provisions under the POCSO Act, 2012. Awareness level and educational qualifications of parents was found to be significantly positively correlated but, relationship between awareness level and socio-personal characteristics of teachers was found to be statistically non-significant in case of teachers.en_US
