dc.description.abstractThe study investigated parents’ and teachers’ protection of child rights and their awareness of Child Rights Acts 2003. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. All parents and teachers in Oyo State constituted the population for this study. Two hundred parents and two hundred teachers were randomly selected from five Local Government Areas of Oyo State, Nigeria. The total of respondents in the study was four hundred. Four research questions were raised and answered while two hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Four researchers’ designed instruments were used to gather data for the study; namely, ‘Parents’ Protection of Child Rights (r=0.89), Parents’ Awareness of Child Rights Acts 2003 (0.82), Teachers’’ Protection of Child Rights (r=0.86) and Teachers’ Awareness of Child Rights Acts 2003 (0.81). Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency counts, percentage mean and t-test analysis. The study found low level of awareness of protection of child rights and awareness of Child Rights Acts 2003 among parents and teachers. Based on the findings, the study recommended that measures and strategies be put in place by all stakeholders to increase awareness of child rights and also ensure high priority to their protection among all parents, teachers and all custodians of children. Government Non-Governmental agencies should make adequate steps to enlighten people that every child has rights that must be protected for its optimum development.en_US
