Models of student governance

Models of student governance refer to different ways students participate in decision-making at their institutions. Some models involve students having elected representatives or councils that work with school administrators to discuss policies, organize activities, and address student concerns. Others emphasize direct student involvement in governance, where students have formal roles or voting rights in institutional decisions. These models aim to promote student engagement, leadership, and accountability, ensuring students have a voice in shaping their educational environment and the policies that affect them.
