Govt acknowledges Children Parliament
Children Parliament has become the voice of children with regard to education policies, said Sindh School Education and Literacy Department (SELD) Secretary Zahid Ali Abbasi. "While every stakeholder is engaged in the betterment of education, the children themselves were previously often left out," Abbasi said adding the introduction of the Children's Parliament Sindh 'Right to Education' has filled this gap by connecting these children with the relevant stakeholders and policymakers at district and provincial level. Thar Education Alliance (TEA), with support of SELD, Reform Support Unit (RSU) and UNICEF, launched an initiative with an aim to empower children and promote the right to education across Sindh. Abbasi said that Sindh should be proud of this initiative, as all the parliamentarians in this forum truly represent the voices of children from rural areas. "SELD currently oversees 1,658 education clusters, so in next phase we should have one male and one female representative of Children Parliament from each cluster," the education secretary said. The department aims to institutionalise this initiative and will work towards allocating a dedicated budget for Children's Parliament Sindh under a distinct budgetary head.
