The Children’s Party forms part of the Independence celebrations’ build-up activities, bringing together learners from across the province in a festive and educational gathering that highlights the country’s commitment to children’s welfare and development.

He highlighted ongoing efforts aimed at strengthening the learning environment, improving school infrastructure, and enhancing access to quality education.

The Minister commended the organising teams and local stakeholders for ensuring that preparations for the Children’s Party were progressing smoothly, describing the venue as ready to welcome pupils, officials, and guests.
