Modules will soon be available for teachers to use while teaching students about the roles and operations of Parliament.

At the Parliamentary Education workshop in Labasa yesterday, 25 teachers from around the North were taught the different ways students could easily understand the roles of Parliament.

Parliament’s civic education manager Vatimosi Delailovu said one of the modules was to have dramas or role plays of a Parliament sitting.

He added this could be done in classrooms for students to better understand the process.

«So when students are watching parliament sitting on television, they have an idea of what is happening because they have been taught in schools through the modules we are preparing.

«This workshop is a parliamentary initiative program known as ‘Our Say Program’.»

The workshop, which is the second to be organised at national level is aimed at training educators to effectively approach Parliament Education with students.
