Nice analysis. Very good with a more detailed description of the rightsholders. I like to focus on the school children and the working parents. This will help you in the design proces.
Good input on the duty bearers. Maybe be a bit more specific on which 'government authorities' that you see as the duty bearer. It is good to try to analysise more specifically which government authorities.
Good analysis on other relevant actors: Maybe the Plantation owners/labor union are actually alos possible duty bearers?
