Student’s Self Government

Prepared by- Debasmita Ghosh


Abstract
Problems of the organization of self-
government in school are intimately related
to the fundamental problems of the
communist upbringing of the rising
generation. Self-government in the school,
organized in a manner appropriate to the
objectives of education, is one of the means
of shaping a socially active person with a
highly-developed sense of duty and
responsibility as a citizen of a socialist country
and builder of communism. As they
participate in the administration of school
affairs, students acquire organizational skills,
and the ability to live and function in a
collective. The student becomes independent,
businesslike, disciplined, and gradually
develops into a master of life.
Objectives of Students Participation
1) A knowledge of theory of democracy

2) Sentiments of law and order

3) Intelligent respect for authority

4) Increasing self –direction and self dependence

5) Prudent leadership and intelligent followership

6) Co-operation

7) Morale
What is the meaning of Student’s self
government?
• It means the participation of pupils in matters concerning organization
administration, functions and control through delegation of power and
responsibility to the student body.

• By inspiring and motivating an individual student to follow certain ethics and code
of conduct, under the supervision of their own peer group.

• Setting up of certain norms of behavioural practice by students themselves and


auto-discipline is the guiding principle.

• In present-day system all progressive countries of the world, there is an increasing


tendency to associate pupils with the administration of the school in various forms
and devices have been tried and accepted. Collectively these forms come under “ Self
Government in School.”

Precautionary measures to be undertaken for
successful implementation of student’ self govt:

covering.
• The objectives must be clearly and specifically defined.
• There should be a real demand from the students for students’
council.
• Students participation in school administration and school
control should be introduced in gradual stages.
Guiding Principles for Representation in
School Self Government:
• The council should represent the school as a whole and not just a part of it.

• The average student should feel that he is represented and it should not be
based on the academic distinction.

• Both the student body and teaching staff should be represented.

• The council should not be too large.

• The council should have definite power as well as responsibility. Every student
should know their powers and their limitations.

• The head of the school should have the power of veto, as he is officially charged
with responsibility.

Conclusion
The goal is to characterize the development of the civil movement of the youth aimed at new
possibilities of participation in decision making processes by means of school self-government.
Young people can rely on a legislative basis for participation at schools as well as in the public. It is
made up of the Act on state administration at schools and school self-government and the Act on
universities. School student councils at secondary school and academic senates at universities are
the structural possibilities that, with the help of the law, can constitute the “informal school of
democracy”.

The Act on state administration at schools and school self-government makes it possible, in one of its
provisions, for student councils

• to provide opinions on material issues, proposals and measures of schools in the field of education
and training,

• to participate in drafting and adhering to the school code of conduct,

• to represent students in relation to the school principal and school management,

• to elect its representatives to the school council.
