Student Representation in The Czech Republic
In the Czech Republic, students of universities and colleges are represented:
- on the faculty and university levels by academic senates (this applies mainly to public HEIs),
- on the national and international level by the Student Chamber (this applies to private HEIs as well).
Every HEI can enter the Council after paying fees for its delegates. For an HEI, three delegates may be sent to the Council, one of whom is a student. Besides that, for each part (faculty) of a respective HEI, one more delegate may be deputed.
The HEI’s delegates are elected for a three year term by its self-governing body called the academic senate (this applies mainly to public HEIs).
