ABSTRACT
A school parliament consists of a group of students who are elected to represent the views of all pupils and to improve their school. School parliaments present a way to raise issues facing young people in their community, such as school attrition, child marriage, and child abuse, and collaborate on strategies to address these. School parliaments can thus provide a space to foster the capacity of young people to organise, form agendas, and be heard on matters that affect them. Through these committees, work is shared among the Members of the Parliament. Once they have shared out the work, the committees work together on issues to be submitted to the President. The authors should not only discuss children's affairs in the School Parliament. As Members of Parliament, they explain their issues to them. If that is not done, then they are only having a Parliament in name alone.
