CSTL pillars: building blocks of quality, transformational and inclusive education
SADC adopted a CSTL Policy Framework that explains what a CSTL school is, why CSTL schools are essential to the achievement of SADC’s shared goals, and the necessary actions that must be taken by every Member State to make every school a CSTL school.
A CSTL school is a rights-based, inclusive school that ensures that every child—especially the most marginalized—receives a quality education that unlocks their full potential as an agent of sustainable development.
A CSTL school is built on 12 foundational building blocks or CSTL pillars that provide the scaffolding upon which CSTL schools are built. The pillars must be in place to guarantee that every school becomes and remains—through its policies, practices, programmes, leadership and governance structures—a rights-based, socially inclusive and cohesive school that is an engine room of sustainable development.
The following 12 pillars must be in place for a school to become a CSTL school that is an effective engine of transformation that develops every child to be an active agent of sustainable development:
These 12 pillars respond to the barriers preventing children from accessing transformational, quality inclusive education. The intention is to establish these pillars in schools so that they become inclusive, rights-based centres of teaching and learning that reach every child, supporting them to overcome barriers to receiving quality education to become active agents of sustainable development.
