Community Service Learning (CSL) Practice in Junior Secondary School

Community Service Learning (CSL) Practice in Junior Secondary School is a transformative educational approach that connects academic learning with meaningful community service. This program is grounded in the Basic Education Curriculum Framework (BECF) and aims to create a paradigm shift in student engagement.

Key Features:

• Experiential Learning: Students participate in practical projects that allow them to experience, reflect, and learn from the community.
• Collaboration and Skills Development: Working in groups, learners acquire essential skills such as problem identification, project design, and implementation.
• Real-World Impact: CSL projects are designed to address authentic community needs, enhancing the relevance of education while developing students’ civic and ethical responsibilities.

How It Works:

• In Grade 7, the CSL component is integrated into the Life Skills Education curriculum. Students will learn about CSL and undertake a group project that benefits both the learners and the school community.
• The program prepares students for more complex CSL projects in Grades 8 and 9.

3. Develop a plan for implementation.
4. Execute the project solutions.
5. Share the project report with stakeholders.
