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

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.¡±
