The National Curriculum Statement in South Africa mandates that all subjects address human rights, social justice, inclusivity, and a healthy environment. Each subject must reflect these principles in ways that are relevant to its content. This focus on a healthy environment can be infused into all subjects, linking them to themes of social justice, human rights, and inclusivity. Sometimes this focus is evident, while at other times it is subtler.
The Keep It Cool Climate Change Education under the national ‘Fundisa for Change’ programme, support teachers to highlight environment, sustainability, social justice, human rights, and inclusivity for transformative education. Content knowledge alone is insufficient; a creative teacher must use diverse teaching methods to engage learners actively and help them understand the subject matter effectively.
