• Provide articulations between the regional and local philosophical concepts and the GCED core values, such as ubuntu, to support a contextualized teaching of GCED values;
• Support countries to identify priority topics and steps towards integrating GCED and SALH in education policies in a manner that highlights the regional dimensions of liberation history, as well as universal values;
• Propose learning outcomes and competencies as well as teaching and learning approaches for GCED and SALH; Provide guidance on integration of GCED and SALH in teacher education programmes, as well as possible assessment methods.
