The 32nd Official Opening of the Junior Parliament took place at the New Parliament Building, with His Excellency President Cde. Dr. E.D. Mnangagwa as the Guest of Honour. This year’s theme, ‘Education for all children in Africa. The time is now’, emphasizes the crucial need for inclusive and quality education for every child across Africa.
The Junior Parliament provides a platform for young people to engage in democratic processes, develop leadership skills, and address pressing issues affecting their peers. The event fosters a culture of active citizenship, critical thinking, and innovative problem-solving among young Zimbabweans.
President Mnangagwa’s presence underscores the government’s commitment to empowering future generations through education and youth development. The theme resonates with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4, aiming to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all.
