According to Ms. Ruth Intal, UAGS student activity coordinator, having a children’s council election teaches the pupils a sense of responsibility and the value of good decision-making.

“They plan their activities. During the start of the year, we have a team building and leadership training where they are trained. They think of the activities and projects that they can provide for the whole student body,” said Intal.

Prior to the election day, the parties were given time to campaign and hold a miting de avance where they presented their platforms.
