The sixth session of the Children's Parliament, starting in July, will focus on the transformation of education.

It will also aim to find solutions to the educational challenges faced by children.

The Children's Parliament, based on the Namibian Constitution, which calls for freedom of expression and fundamental human rights, is an initiative of Parliament in partnership with the United Nations Children's Fund.

Children's Parliament is giving prominence and value to children's voices while empowering them to take up positions of responsibility.

This is according to the UNICEF Regional Director and Country Representative, who paid a courtesy call on the Speaker of the National Assembly, Peter Katjavivi, in Swakopmund.

As a mouthpiece and a platform, the Children's Parliament lobbies and advises the government to fast-track policies that can improve the rights and welfare of children.
