Why student leadership is important in education?

Leadership is about the art of motivating, influencing, and directing people so that they work
together to achieve the goals of a team. It’s important for students to experience leadership
opportunities during their schooling, to learn the art of building relationships within teams,
defining identities, and achieving tasks effectively. It also provides an opportunity to learn to
identify and display effective communication.

Leadership begins with identifying and understanding our values. Our values are our
fundamental beliefs. The more leadership is encouraged, the more it flourishes.

What a student leaders most important role is to be a good motivator who inspires
people. Why this is a good student leader role is because it shows that they can motivate
and help people who do not know how to do the things that you or they can. If you
motivate them they will at least try and do some of the things you can do if you are better
at what they are trying to do. If they are down and they keep saying that ¨I can not do
this¨ well then you would have to motivate them and tell them ¨you can¨ because they
will never get better in life if they do not try. If they have exams and they just sit there,
you will need to be a good motivator and tell they can do it so they will not get a bad
grade on their exams. All of these shows what a student leader 's role is because they
motivate kids to try to help them get better because there was not a student leader and
there are 4 or 5 kids that just sit there and do nothing because nobody is motivating them
and trying to help them.
