SIMORGH’s education department is based on the premise that values learnt in childhood play a crucial role in forming the adult mind. Given the increasing violence and growing intolerance towards the human rights of others, work undertaken by the education department is a step towards building an awareness of a child or young adult’s individual and community or group rights and responsibilities.

The Simorgh School Text Book Project produces Kaleidoscope primers which address issues of our right to life, safety, food, health, education, etc. Designed to capture the interest of the child so that she or he can understand the concept of human rights, they actively involve children in developing their learning and thinking processes.

The teaching methodology is participatory and entails discussions and group work with the children. Data identification and logic are the tools used to teach children to identify problems and seek possible solutions.

Each primer is accompanied by a Teacher's Guide. The purpose of the Guide is to inspire the teachers to include and use parallel material on given themes and base exercises on the format already given in the primers.
