School and Community visit
“Our Parliament, Bringing Parliament to You” is the theme of our outreach activity to schools and communities. Every year, the Education team from the Legislative Assembly of Tonga visits schools and communities on the main island, Tongatapu and the outer islands for its outreach program. The visit is an opportunity to take parliament to the public and let them have a first-hand experience of the work of the Legislative Assembly of Tonga.
During these visits presentation on:
- What is Parliament?
- Roles and Function of Parliament
- How laws are made in Parliament
- Roles of the MPs
- Political reform in 2010
- The formation of government
- How government is kept accountable?
