Talk:School Council

The School Councils in Myanmar are made up of all teachers and students chaired by the principal of the college or the head of the school. It is different from both class officer and student council :

• It has house system in the entire school, not the representative of individual classes as there is another system of class representatives different from this system.
• Regardless of the classes, all the students from each house in the entire school have to perform their house duties on the designated days (such as cleaning the toilets, taking out the rubbish bins, etc.) while the house teachers also have to do their house duties (such as patrolling, guarding the gate, etc.).
• School Council houses have their flags raised under the national flag on the flag pole.
• All school councils have the same mottos, customs and protocols regulated by the government's Ministry of Education, Department of Basic Education
• Apart from Education Degree Colleges, all other universities (including Universities of Education), colleges and higher education institutions do not have any "school council" or such kind of system. Instead, they can form clubs and groups as they pleased provided that the rector or the principal approves. Their class representatives, called "ECs" are elected or appointed or not appointed/elected at all, variedly without the strict protocols, unlike the "school council".

There is almost no resources about them in English apart from the university textbooks. The Burmese resources are also rare to find. It would be better to maintain this page as it is so that we can later add more contributions and references to resources for the education university/college students who are learning about this system as part of their courses and have to do assignments or presentations about the School Council System in Myanmar.

I'd like to invite @FaviFake for discussion.

Hi, it seems I forgot to link to the ongoing discussion, happening at Talk:Class president § Proposed mergers. Note that I am not the one who originally proposed the merger of this page.

Besides, I don't see a reason not to mege. You've argued that this page shouldn't be merged because we can add more references. We can do that even if the page is merged. Do you have any other reasons for opposing? FaviFake (talk) 09:42, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

@နေနီဝန်း Note that we absolutely do not want to remove any content about this. We merely want to move it to a more appropriate page. This content won't be outright deleted. FaviFake (talk) 09:44, 8 October 2025 (UTC)
