ReplyDeleteKids who are voted and are qualified would have higher self confidence as they grow up and become better leaders in the society.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess, we called it Supreme Student Council when I was in grade school. This is a right training for the students and youngsters to be responsible :)
ReplyDeleteBeing part of the pupil government can really be a good training ground for future leaders.
ReplyDeleteI remember my humble elementary and High School Days in the province. Yeap, I am an active student leader and writer for student org. Kudos to the new and young leaders. They are indeed the hope of this country!
ReplyDeleteIt is always best to encourage students in the aspect of leadership to prepare them for bigger roles in the future.
ReplyDeleteThis post reminds me of my high school days because I'm also an active student leader. I can still remember how to lead students and make projects for the community.
ReplyDeleteI think kids these days show a lot of maturity. Letting them govern themselves is good exercise for them.
ReplyDeleteI am not an active student leader when I was in Elementary and Highschool. I am glad that there are activities like this at schools nowadays which will help the kids be more confident to govern themselves.
