Children's Right

 

"National Children’s Month”

 

         The Philippines observes National Children's Month every November. Giving Filipino children access to a healthy environment, a quality education, and healthcare is the goal of this month-long celebration. This year's celebration, with the theme "New Normal na Walang Iwanan: Karapatan ng Bawat Bata Ating Tutukan," focuses on the importance of protecting children's rights, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has shown the devastating effects of our current situation on the most vulnerable population.

        Children and young people are speaking up on topics that are important to their generation and urging adults to work toward building a better future, including climate change, education, mental health, and the elimination of prejudice and discrimination. Everyone is aware that children are the world's future. The annual observance of World Children's Day has as one of its main goals the protection of children's rights. Children, unlike adults, are unable to defend their rights, so it is our responsibility to do so.

       To guarantee that every child receives a quality education, access to health care, and protection from all forms of abuse and discrimination, the UN has ratified numerous treaties and agreements. There isn't enough discussion on the numerous issues that children from poorer economic systems experience, such as money issues and healthcare issues. This day is an attempt to raise awareness of these issues so that people will not ignore them and would instead take action to solve them.

This grading is so remarkable for us. Full of hardships, tears and sweats that we’ve put in our performance at school. We tend to put so much effort, sacrifices and responsibilities in everything we do in order to achieve our goals before we end our journey as Special Science Class.

Being a student is enjoyable. Throughout the months of the journey, we faced many challenges, I enjoyed spending time with my friends. We create many memories. Every moment we had together was treasured. This grade has been a fantastic and worthwhile experience.

THEMATIC ASSESSMENT

         The natural world is an incredible wonder that inspires us all. It underpins our economy, our society, indeed our very existence. Our forests, rivers, oceans and soils provide us with the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we irrigate our crops with. We also rely on them for numerous other goods and services we depend on for our health, happiness and prosperity. 

“Environment is no one’s property to destroy; it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect”
- Dennis Weaver
