The data were collected through focus group interview method in this research designed as a case study. The sample of the study consists of six qualified primary school teachers for children's rights education selected by critical case sampling method.

In the light of these understandings, detailed information has been obtained in reference to proposed ways for the administration of effective children's rights education and where and with whom the process should take place. Furthermore, information has been obtained about the arrangements that TECR have made at class and school levels for an effective children's rights education.
