Members seated in the National Assembly chamber

Experience Pakistan's bicameral parliament in practice

Simulated sessions of the model Senate and National Assembly, where members debate, legislate and lead.

The Two Houses

One parliament, two houses

Like Pakistan's Parliament, the Public Parliament sits as a National Assembly and a Senate. Members win their seats in the Public Parliament elections.

Inside a Session

What happens on the floor

Each sitting follows the business of a real parliament, so members learn the rules by using them.

Question Hour

Members put questions on public matters and practise holding the government benches to account.

Motions & Debate

Members move motions and argue them on the floor with persuasive, well-reasoned speeches.

Legislative Business

Bills are formulated, amendments proposed and solutions to public problems put to the vote.

Committee Proceedings

Committees scrutinise policies and discuss national challenges in detail before reporting back.
