Through a press statement issued on the 7th of February 2025, the Kid’s Parliament of Sierra Leone has shown its commitment to advocating for the rights and welfare of children across the nation, especially during the upcoming internal party elections.
While the internal party elections are ongoing, the Kid’s Parliament urges all children, especially those in public examination classes, to prioritize their education. It is crucial to address the young peers who are becoming eligible to vote.
“We call upon all politicians to encourage children to remain dedicated to their education rather than getting involved in internal party elections at this crucial time. Your actions and messages should emphasize the importance of education and its role in the development of our nation. Support us by promoting a positive, education-focused environment.”
The statement further adds, “Our academic success is paramount, and it is essential to stay focused on our studies. Education is the foundation for a brighter future, and we must not allow political distractions to hinder our academic progress.”
“As the Kid’s Parliament, we firmly condemn the participation of children in internal party elections.”
The statement continues, expressing concerns: “We believe that children’s involvement in politics at this stage can divert our attention from our primary responsibility, which is education.
We urge all children to refrain from engaging in political activities and concentrate on their studies, as emphasized by the Minister of Basic and Secondary Education, Hon. Conrad Sackey, regarding the upcoming public exams.”
It is important to note that the Kid’s Parliament is aware of the leaders who genuinely care for children’s welfare and uphold strong moral values. Our decisions on whom to support are based on their actions and commitment to improving the lives of children. We encourage all children to adopt this mindset when the time comes, focusing on the candidates’ dedication to child welfare and ethical leadership.
In conclusion, we emphasize the importance of staying focused on education during this critical period. We count on your support and commitment to this cause.
