In terms of Section 14 of the Continuing Education and Training (CET) Act no. 16, 2006, every educational institution needs the Student Representative Council (SRC) to be the link between the students, College Management and lecturers. Such recognition finds its basis from the establishment of the SRC as one of the key governance structures in Colleges as outlined in the CET Act of 2006. It also creates opportunities for students to develop new skills and to get exposure to leadership opportunities. The SRC is an integral part of student life and a critical cooperative governance partner in a College.
It is very important that the SRC represents the whole student body. The SRC is the voice of the students and the link between students and College Management.
SRC members are responsible to enhance student life on campuses and participate in leadership structures in Colleges. This means that the SRC members are empowered to invest in people and communities. The SRC members are collectively and individually responsible for the proper implementation of the constitution of the SRC. For this purpose, the SRC distribute its programme of action, duties and responsibilities among its members and according to the constitution. The SRC also carry out these responsibilities with the guidance of the Student Support Services office.
The term of office for the SRC shall be one (1) academic year, from September to August (the following year). The newly elected SRC receives training immediately after they have been elected and inducted. They are also provided thorough a capacity building programme. Its members are trained in leadership and organisational skills throughout their term of office. Workshops ensure that SRC members are equipped with knowledge and skills that will enable them to provide leadership and guidance not only during their time in College, but throughout their lives.
The college also facilitates establishment of Student Parliament, as per SRC Constitution. Student Parliament is formed by class representatives from all campuses. SRC members are part of SP and are accountable to the Student Parliament
