Assadullah Sadiq, a Master of Arts candidate at the UBC Faculty of Education, is this year’s recipient of the Janusz Korczak Association of Canada Graduate Scholarship in Children’s Rights and Canadian Indigenous Education. 

Assadullah examines the literacy and language practices of Afghan refugees living in Pakistan. His study will document the beliefs/perceptions of literacy and language held by Afghan families. In addition, he will be documenting the literacy & language events that children and adults engage in at home, in the community, and at school.

The 2017 Dean’s Distinguished Speaker Lecture: Janusz Korczak, the Father of Children’s Rights, Turning Rights into Action program included presenting the scholarship certificate to Assadullah.

The Janusz Korczak Association of Canada would like to extend their congratulations to Assadullah Sadiq for his achievement.
