Abstract
Human rights, civic society, democracy and sustainable development all
depend on human rights education. Therefore, education should focus on
fostering respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms as well as the
complete development of the human personality. Moreover, human rights education
raises the understanding of the society as a whole. As the students are the
country’s future and teachers are the architects, it’s important to educate
them about human rights. This research paper delves to explore the awareness of
human rights among higher education students. A descriptive survey research
design was adopted for the present study. A standardized human rights awareness
test was employed for collecting data from 70 M.A. students from the Department
of Education, Tezpur University. The findings indicate that, human rights
awareness among M.A. students is largely average, with 47.2%, of students
falling under grade D. Students show stronger awareness of the constitutional
basis, human dignity and child rights as reflected in high agreement. Thus, the
distribution suggests for a need for more focused academic interventions to
improve human rights awareness among the students.
