Its purpose is to establish cooperation between teachers and officials responsible for the development of self-government in educational institutions and territorial communities of the region.
In particular, an organizational meeting was held the day before to approve the composition of the council and discuss a preliminary action plan.
Recently, an organizational meeting was held to discuss the draft “Regulations on the Advisory Council on Student Self-Government at the Department of Education and Science of the Lviv Regional State Administration.” In particular, they approved the composition of the council and discussed a preliminary action plan.
“Students are a very powerful force if they are involved in active educational activities. This year, the Department of Education decided to synchronize teacher and student work. Our children are very creative and proactive, and when they have a good mentor-coordinator by their side, it doubles or triples the effectiveness of actions in any direction.
That is why this year we want to combine the work of the student parliament with work with teachers. For this purpose, we are creating a Coordination Council and developing the Regulations on its activities,” said Iryna Sysliuk, Head of the Department of Preschool, General Secondary and Extracurricular Education.
