peer learning to promote collective learning and community building (Higgs &
Letseka, 2022, p. 17). Additionally, incorporating African values such as respect,
empathy, and reciprocity can foster a more inclusive and compassionate learning
environment (Higgs & Letseka, 2022, p. 16). As noted on page 16, "Communality
emphasizes the importance of community and collective responsibility in African
