School councils. Student voice. Giving young people a say in how their school is run. Sounds like effort, doesn’t it? Kids are there to be educated, not to take part in it, right? Let’s be clear : schools present a unique opportunity for young people to learn about democracy.

We’ve also been invited to a student voice event in Slovakia.

A full transcript of all the sessions can be found under External Relations\Westminster Education Forum\Healthy School Food 250908 transcript (the password to access this is in brackets). However, in the meantime, there are a number of contacts that I think we need to follow [...]
Well, I see it as a place where we can quickly note down our thoughts, experiences and links to news stories relating to education and participation. Primarily we are doing this for each other (and ourselves), but it may also be of interest to other people interested in school councils and School Councils UK. In [...]
