All local schools to have duly elected student's councils

The Ministry of Education recently announced that all schools will have duly elected Students’ Councils and this in our view is a positive move.
We say so because schools in most parts of the world have instituted Students’ Councils which serve as the students' representative body. They initiate and direct student activities and acts as liaisons with administrative staff.

Such a move in Guyana should be welcomed by all since it helps students to share ideas, interests and concerns with teachers and school principals. Today's youths have an integral part to play in our nation's future and giving them such an opportunity bodes well for the country's future.
