The Mchinji Children’s Parliament has urged authorities to address inadequate resources in schools, citing shortages of teachers, books, and classrooms as key challenges affecting learners. Supported by GENET under the NORAD-funded TIKUMA project, the session highlighted the importance of amplifying children’s voices in shaping education and development policies.
As one way of ensuring that children’s rights are upheld, M’mbelwa District Council annually holds Children’s Parliament, a platform through which they share and deliberate issues which affect their welfare.
