Contrary to traditional PE programmes which take a "one size fits all" approach, Quality Physical Education is grounded in the equality of opportunity for all students/learners to access a well-balanced and inclusive curriculum.

1. Quality Physical Education
(QPE) Workshop
Organized by UNESCO in Cooperation with GIZ
29 - 30 September 2016: UNESCO Headquarters

2. Background
Two programmes have been supporting learners:
1. Care and Support for Teaching and Learning Programme (a SADC
initiated programme adopted by education ministers in 2008);
2. Safe and Caring Child-Friendly Schools Programme (a global
programme adapted to SA with a small local footprint).
CSTL and SCCFS have recently been aligned to include human rights
as a tenth pillar.

3. CSTL Ten Pillars
1. A rights-based, socially inclusive and cohesive school
2. Nutrition support
3. Health promotion
4. Safety and protection
5. Psycho-social support
6. Curriculum support
7. Co-curricular support
8. Infrastructure, water and sanitation
9. Social welfare services
10. Material support

4. CSTL Vision
The vision underpinning the strengthened implementation of the
CSTL Programme is: “Every school child is a humane and active
citizen aware of his or her rights and responsibilities within our
democratic and socially cohesive South African society.”

5. A Rights-Based Approach
“A rights-based, socially inclusive and cohesive school is one that
makes sure that all school community members know, respect
protect and promote, especially vulnerable children’s rights to
education, equality, freedom from discrimination and violence,
dignity, and all other rights necessary to enjoy their right to
education equally…
Safe, supportive learning environments create opportunities for
every learner to develop the skills and knowledge they need to
achieve the best of his/her potential and to become a responsible
and successful citizen.”
