This is the latest report from the Education and Skills Select Committee on citizenship educations. The second report of the session 2006/07.
In it the committee calls for statutory school councils, 'We see a case for making school councils compulsory as this would make them the norm, and send a clear message about the importance of meaningful involvement for students in the running of schools and other settings.'
They also make recommendations for the Government to provide opportunites for schools to enagage in appropriate training, 'Training
for students in leadership, communication skills and negotiation is one
of the areas where there are real opportunities for the Government to
offer support.'
