QUESTION 1 [26]
1.1Define the concept of “ubuntu” in your own words. (2)
Ubuntu is an African philosophy that emphasizes the importance of community,
compassion, and interconnectedness among people. It signifies that our humanity
is shared, and one’s well-being is deeply tied to the well-being of others. The
concept can be summarized as "I am because we are."

1.2 Explain how ubuntu can underpin school, family and community
collaboration. Provide an example to support your answer. (6)
Ubuntu, a philosophy emphasizing interconnectedness and community, can
underpin school, family, and community collaboration by fostering a sense of
shared responsibility and collective support. This approach encourages active
involvement and mutual respect among all stakeholders, leading to a more
cohesive and effective partnership.
For example, a school in a disadvantaged community implemented an ubuntu-
inspired collaborative program, bringing together teachers, parents, and local
community members to support students' academic and personal growth.
Through regular meetings and shared decision-making, they addressed issues like
poverty, lack of resources, and limited access to healthcare. By working together
and sharing resources, they created a supportive environment that led to
improved academic performance, increased parental engagement, and enhanced
community involvement.
