Review of Related Literature and Studies

Garlejo (2006) said that every college or university has a student

Council as the supreme student organization of the school. Its main role is to

ensure that the rights and welfare of all students are always upheld and

promoted. The Student Council is tasked to develop school spirit and

promote the general welfare of the students; to advise the university/college

President on student matters, affairs and activities of distinctly

intercollegiate concern; to adopt its own by-laws for its internal and general

government; to coordinate student activities; and to exercise such powers

and perform such act of duties as the school authorities may from time to

time delegate to it.

Williamson (1967), a recognized and respected pioneer leader in the

field of student personnel work, noted that the goal of getting students

involved in matters of leadership and participation in campus activities would

not be achieved by allowing them mere sandbox participation. He believed

student government could play a very important role in policy making and
must be accepted by the administration as a vital and legitimate part of the

institution's governance structure.

B. Local

According to Gacutan (2006) leaders of different student organizations

in every campus played very important roles to perform for school

enhancement. They are considered as a powerful vigor of human resources

that the school taps for instruction as well as in school organization. This is

very true to students for they are considered as the most important element

of the educational community. Though young as they are, students are

aware of the many problems that confront their school life and their future.

Hence, they should have the initiatives to offer solutions to such problems

thereby giving them chances to execute their plans and mobilize their works

within their capabilities because of their desire to facilitate students’

development and help improve the prestige of the school they belong.

Meanwhile, De Jesús, et.al (2015) holds that the challenging terrain of

modern urban life requires these youth to navigate the political, economic,

and legal demands confronted by their families; to understand the rules for

success in public schools; and to steer clear of violence in their communities.

Larger issues such as climate change and environmental justice

understandably cannot be priorities for youth who are preoccupied with day-

to-day survival.
