Welcome to the Representative Council of Learners (RCL) Hub
About
This is the RCL Hub, a platform to help learners contribute to school policies and shape their educational experiences.
A Representative Council of Learners (RCL) is a group of democratically elected learners who represent learners’ interests. It is set up to give learners a voice in a school system. An RCL allows learners to share their opinions, help create school policies and take part in improving their school and overall education experience.
The purpose is to encourage leadership, empowerment and ownership among learners. According to the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act (No. 32 of 2024), every public secondary school with Grade 8 and higher must establish a functional RCL.
