The Department has chosen the theme for 2019 as “Christian and Values Education for a Better Future”.
The theme was chosen to give prominence to the newly introduced Citizenship and Christian Values Education (CCVE)curriculum which has been made a compulsory subject from 2019 on wards.
With the inclusion of the CCVE subject as a compulsory subject in our schools we should be able to address the issues of Gender Based Violence (GBV), sorcery-related accusations and violence and many other law and order and behavioural issues affecting our children in such especially school fights.
