On 1st November 2025, Senior Lecturer Dr. Mohamed Shareef and 29 students from the Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) programme visited the People’s Majlis of the Maldives to gain a practical understanding of the legislative process and learn how laws are drafted, debated, and enacted.
The visit provided an experiential learning opportunity, allowing students to connect their academic learning with real-world civic and institutional practices. Through the visit, students enhanced their understanding of governance, civic responsibility, democratic processes, and the role of legislative institutions in society.
The activity promoted quality and inclusive education by extending learning beyond the classroom and providing students with first-hand exposure to civic institutions. It also strengthened awareness of transparent, accountable, and inclusive governance, while encouraging students to recognise the importance of active civic participation and respect for democratic processes.
The visit further highlighted the value of collaboration between educational institutions and national institutions in enriching student learning. The experience provided future teachers with practical insights that can support the integration of civic education, governance, democratic values, and active citizenship into primary education.
