THE IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZING A CLASS OFFICERS IN HR& CP
 INTRODUCTION

At educational institutions above primary education, each grade level or year of

study is a class, referenced by the year of graduation, i.e., "Class of 2011". The official
activities of these groups are generally organized and led by class officers, who are
elected in the late spring of each year for the term beginning in the fall, or early in the
fall term. After graduation, the class officers are typically responsible for organizing
their class reunion. Like a student council, their leadership model is loosely based on
either the parliamentary system or the executive branch of the United States. Unlike a
student council, which represents the students of an entire school, class officers
typically represent only a single class.[1] Whereas the purpose of student council is to
learn about democracy and leadership, and to work in partnership with school
management for the benefit of the school, the goal of class officers is to organize and
facilitate activities for the enjoyment of their classmates.
Whereas the purpose of student council is to learn about democracy and leadership,
and to work in partnership with school management for the benefit of the school, the
importance of organizing a class officers in Human Rights and Culture of Peace is
to organize and facilitate activities for the enjoyment of their classmates in order to
control or form a good linkages to the class, professors and the institution or university.
Also it was important to organize a class officers because their function is to act as a
liaison between the class and the administration, ensuring that the group's actions and
activities conform to the policies of the institution. The advisor will work with the
president when setting class meetings agendas to include all required items in a timely
manner. A good class president embodies characteristics such as kindness, initiative,
leadership, and camaraderie. Developing these characteristics and wanting school to be
fun for everyone will set you apart from any other class president.
Conclusion: I think communication is a huge issue between all class officers in all
schools and the students. Social media is one solution; however, not everyone has a
Facebook or Twitter, so that’s when communication gets blurred and only one part of
the class is informed. For the future, I would suggest more involved and frequent class
meetings, bulletin letters, surveys, and even have the class officers go to each senior
TGA individually. If there are going to be class officers, they need to communicate with
all students. If they don’t, a student may be ill-informed or feel like they don’t have a
say. We nominated for these officers to speak for our entire class. Either class officers
communicate with everyone, not just their friends, and get involved with all the other
students.
