Abstract
Following the recently published report Building Blocks for Improving HRE within ITE in Scotland (2015), this article identifies some of the challenges facing Human Rights Education (HRE) in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) in Scotland and provides suggestion for how these could be overcome, or at least alleviated. It argues that HRE in ITE is important not only for equipping teachers with the confidence and skills to be able to provide effective and empowering education in this area in their classrooms, but also for contributing to a broader cultural change where human rights are mainstreamed and accepted to a greater extent within society. The article suggests, however, that a number of changes in both policy and practice would be necessary to overcome the current barriers to HRE and to ensure that education in this area is consistent, widespread and effective.
