A "Mock Parliament" program conducted jointly by the People's Majlis Secretariat and Kalaafaanu School commenced today. 50 Grade 8 students from Kalaafaanu School are participating in this program.
The programme is designed to provide students with practical knowledge and experience of parliamentary procedures and processes. During the three working sessions, students will learn about the roles and responsibilities of the People’s Majlis, the legislative process, preparation for and debate of a Bill, and the procedures of Minister Question Time.
The fourth and final day of the programme will feature a Mock Parliament sitting. During the sitting, students will apply the knowledge and skills gained throughout the working sessions by participating in a simulated parliamentary sitting.
The Mock Parliament Programme aims to enhance students’ understanding of the work of the People’s Majlis and provide them with an opportunity to engage with parliamentary processes in a practical setting.
