Eight blocks required to build a CSTL school

building blocks.png

SADC's CSTLPolicy Framework calls for systematic action by the education sector and supporting partners to build CSTL schools in the region. It requires coordinated action to enable school communities to create supportive teaching and learning environments that will guarantee the inclusion of vulnerable groups and ensure that they receive a quality 21st-century education to ensure their participation in all aspects of society – social, economic, civic, and political.

A CSTL school is built on eight foundational building blocks that are essential to ensure that every school provides inclusive, transformative 21st-century teaching and learning that develops agency for sustainable development. The building blocks are pre-conditions for creating teaching and learning environments that guarantee educational inclusion that will ensure sustainable development in the SADC region.

The eight CSTL building blocks and associated services and support respond to the specific barriers excluding vulnerable children from accessing, inclusive, quality 21st century education. They are the defining features of a rights-based, socially inclusive CSTL school that responds systematically to ensure that barriers do not exclude vulnerable children and that they receive a quality education that will see them develop into active citizens with the knowledge and competencies to be agents of sustainable development.

The eight CSTL building blocks that provide the scaffolding for CSTL schools are:

Curriculum development and support

Teacher development and support

Enabling and inclusive infrastructure

Material support

Nutrition and health promotion

Social welfare services, including safety and protection and PSS

Parental and community involvement

Leadership, coordination, and management that results in socially inclusive education policies, practices, and pedagogy
