Ministry (government department)

You know how your school has a principal and teachers who help you learn and make sure everything runs smoothly? Well, a ministry is like a big school for adults called the government. It has a bunch of people working together to make sure everything in the country is running smoothly and everyone is safe and happy.

Just like how your school has different subjects like math, science, and art, a ministry has different "departments" or areas of focus like education, health, and transportation. Each department has people who are experts in that subject and they work together to make sure everyone in the country gets what they need.

For example, the education department makes sure there are good schools for kids to go to and teachers who can teach them well. The health department makes sure that people can go to a doctor when they're sick and get medicine if they need it. The transportation department makes sure that there are good roads and trains so people can travel safely and easily.

Overall, a ministry is like a giant team of adults who work hard to take care of everyone in the country and make sure everything runs smoothly.
