The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is an international treaty that South
Africa has ratified. It plays a crucial role in accommodating the diverse needs of
learners by emphasizing the rights of children, including the right to education. The
CRC calls for the best interests of the child to be a primary consideration in all
actions and decisions affecting children. This means that educational policies and
practices must be child-centered and take into account the individual needs and
circumstances of each learner, especially those facing barriers to learning. The CRC
also promotes the participation of children in decisions that affect them, ensuring that
their voices are heard in matters related to education.
