SSY students meet leaders during parliament visit

Fourteen top-performing students from Sinesine-Yongomugl (SSY) District in Papua New Guinea's Simbu Province have experienced the nation's highest law-making body firsthand during a civic education visit to the National Parliament in Port Moresby.

The visit offered the students a unique opportunity to gain exposure to the country's legislative processes. They were able to observe proceedings within the Parliament Chamber, including live debates and legislative sessions that are instrumental in shaping national decisions. This immersive experience is designed to foster a deeper understanding of governance and civic responsibility among young leaders.

The program was facilitated by the Speaker of Parliament, the Honorable Job Pomat. He hosted the students and ensured their access to observe the parliamentary activities. Such initiatives are crucial for engaging the next generation with the workings of government and encouraging their participation in the country's democratic future. The visit underscores the importance of civic education in empowering students with knowledge about their nation's institutions.
