Student councils have been formed in 8,989 primary schools with direct voting today to make the students respectful toward democratic practice and values from childhood. The government took the initiative to form a seven-member 'Student Council' in every primary school in 2010. Abul Khayer, Divisional Deputy Director of Department of Primary Education, here said 62,923 representatives have elected with direct voting by the students in all eight districts under the division successfully. The student council will help maintain healthy atmosphere in the school and try to make irregular student regular through counseling. He said if the initiative of forming student council succeeds, it will help develop democratic values among the student, maintain healthy academic atmosphere in schools and prevent dropouts. The members of student council will hold motivational meetings and establish contacts with guardians through home visits, he added. - AA Correspondent, Rajshahi
