Alarm in the State Student Council: Shakes with resignation demands!

Alarm in the State Student Council: Shakes with resignation demands!

Werderstraße 124, 19055 Schwerin, Deutschland - A storm of outrage blows through the State student council Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania! Internal conflicts and disagreement about the quorum are currently causing excitement at a recently held assembly of delegates. The state student council, the highest democratically elected student representative of the federal state, has around 200,000 interested students behind them, but at a meeting of 29 registered delegates, only 19 actually appeared, which massively hindered the work of the committee. A member already expressed his displeasure in a WhatsApp group about this small number of participants, which led to tightened reactions. For example, the members not present received the request to withdraw in writing by 8:30 a.m., as reported by the Nordkurier.

Felix Wizowsky, the committed chairman of the State Student Council, took a look after this WhatsApp message became public. He made it clear that this statement came from a simple member and was not authorized by the board. "In order to be quorate, at least half of the delegates must be present," said Wizowsky. "This is a basic prerequisite for our work," continued the chairman.

position of the state student council

The State student council Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has set important goals. This includes strengthening the district and city student councils, promoting communication between students, teachers and parents and waking up about democracy and tolerance in schools. These points are part of the efforts to improve the educational situation in the long term. The State Student Council also represents the interests of the pupils to the state government and is listened to before issuing legal ordinances that affect school concerns. This is done within the framework of the legal requirements in the School Act M-V and the School Mitacular Ordinance, as well as on the website of the [Ministry of Education and Child Day Section] (https://www. government-mv.de/landes government/bm/schulorganization/schulmitlechen.

The student representative is clearly structured: Each school sends a representative to the respective district or city student council, and the state student council consists of up to eight delegates from the districts and independent cities. The board is elected every two years and has the responsibility to actively shape the topics of the student representative and to represent their interests. His work is also supported by the activities of a support association that has only been active since November 2021.

The situation in the state student council

Internal disagreement on participation in the delegate assemblies throws a light on the challenges with which the State Student Council is confronted. Delegate repeatedly left their school and step back from their offices, which creates the basis for post -elections and could possibly affect the structure of the representation. Wizowsky reacted to the questions raised on the validity of the critical WhatsApp message with the words that their content could not be confirmed or denied, this could even have been meant as a joke. Despite the difficulties, there is hope that the members will pull together and put the interests of the students in the foreground.

The challenges are great, but the State student council is ready to work on the improvement of its internal structures in order to continue to implement its important goals successfully. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming weeks. Anyone who is willing to take responsibility and actively strengthen the committee is now required! The State student council is finally the mouthpiece of the students and has the task of effectively representing their concerns in both schools and the state government.
