Millennium Fellowship Project: Elections 4 All
Restoring the Student Government to its pivotal role in establishing an enabling environment for excellence in our schools.
And also, equipping more young people to actively participate in elections, governance and policymaking locally, nationally and internationally.
By training and actively engaging students, teachers, parents and the school administration to actively participate in their student government elections either as voters, candidates, electoral committee members or whistleblowers.
This student government constitutes class prefects (class delegates), school prefects and club leaders. They have a non-renewable 9-months mandate.
After the elections, these student leaders are trained in elections, governance and policymaking in order to diligently carryout their individual and collective duties.
This equips them with sufficient knowledge, skills and experience to confidently participate in local, national and international democracy and diplomacy.
