The aim for the study is to investigate whether or not personnel with pedagogical and managing responsibilities convey childrens rights in accordance with the documents governing the Swedish preschools and the convention on the rights of the child. The study’s research questions are as follows: according to personnel with pedagogical and managing responsibilities, what opportunities are made possible for children’s rights learning? How does personnel with pedagogical and managing responsibilities look upon their educational responsibility regarding children’s rights learning, and what aspects within the organization can affect this responsibility? A qualitative method is applied and six semi-structured interviews with personnel with pedagogical and managing responsibilities were conducted. Foucault’s perspective on power, in accordance with the interpretation of Axelsson and Qvarsebo (2017) is applied to the study. The theoretical framework will assist to illustrate the asymmetric relationships within the preschool. The result of the study indicates that preschoolteachers lack of knowledge in regard to the convention on the rights of the child affects if and how children are being thought about their rights. The study also concludes that preschoolteachers decisions concerning childrens perception abilities in relation to rights learning are centred around age presumptions. The study further demonstrates the significance of early rights learning situations starting in preschool this to facilitate children’s position as rights carrying citizens within their own right.
