Education Minister Hosts Kids Parliament

July 27, 2024

Members of the Sierra Leone Kids Parliament, led by their Director, Malvin Success Kanteh, paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Basic and Senior Secondary Education, Conrad Sackey, at his New England Ville office in Freetown on Thursday, July 25, 2024.

The Kids Parliament members expressed their immense appreciation to the minister for his dedication and outstanding leadership.

The Minister was thrilled to hear about the Kids Parliament’s dedication to education and governance. He was pleased to meet the young parliamentarians and expressed excitement to support their mission of nurturing the next generation of leaders.

He further expressed his commitment to fostering an environment where young minds can thrive and contribute to the betterment of society.

The Kids Parliament is a unique platform for children aged 10 to 16 across 22 schools nationwide, focusing on education and governance. The Kids Parliament is structured to comprise the Ruling Government – these are the first five best performers in their schools as per promotional results, the Opposition Party comprises the second set of five best performers, and the Independent Party is drawn from the two sets to create a balance. This platform allows young voices to discuss and address matters that relate to them.

The meeting turned out to be a successful and inspiring one.
