| Purpose: The purpose of the module is to offer intellectual enrichment by deepening teachers' systematic understanding of the current thinking, theory and practice in relation to family and caregiver support. The psychosocial challenges in society demand an enhanced specialization to further develop teachers' roles in teaching and learning support in education, and this includes support provided to the family and other caregivers. Equipped students will possess focused knowledge of the contextual barriers within the family that might affect teaching and learning. Various sources of information will be gathered and validated, for example, United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), in order to identify challenges that families in the African context experience and to provide mechanism to assist in overcoming the challenges. It is expected of students to apply theories and evidence-based practices, critically reflect and act ethically in their practices in relation to the family eco-system.
