The publication of the handbook follows on from the inaugural national Care and Support for Teaching and Learning (CSTL) Conference held on 12-13 June 2018 in Irene, Pretoria under the auspices of The Department of Basic Education (DBE) in partnership with MIET AFRICA and UNICEF. Care and Support for Teaching and Learning aims to "transform schools into inclusive centres of learning, care and support where children stay in school and thrive".
