As part of our Electoral Club activities, we conducted a mock parliament in our school on 31st October with students from Grade 8 to 12.

We started with a basic introduction to the parliament. Annlin Gifty presented the introduction and explained the process of passing a bill, while Anlee Roshika described the architecture and appearance of the new parliament building. Then, we moved to the most important part—the introduction of the bill. The Social Justice Minister, Gifty, introduced the bill “Universal Economic Equality and Caste Neutrality”. The opposition party opposed the bill with proper evidence.

Finally, it moved to the voting process, which resulted in a tie; therefore, as per Article 100, the Speaker cast the deciding vote in support. This is how we conducted our mock parliament. Afterwards, they discussed the topic of gender equality in our society. The students also learned how a parliament works.
