Secondary Schools / Upper Secondary School's Student Council
Most upper secondary schools have an elected student body, which keeps in contact with the rector and the staff. There exists four national school student unions: The Union of Finnish Upper Secondary School Students (In Finnish, Suomen Lukiolaisten Liitto) which represents students in general upper secondary education, Suomen opiskelija-allianssi - OSKU and Ammattiin opiskelevat - SAKKI who both represent students in vocational upper secondary education, and The Swedish-speaking School Student Union of Finland (In Swedish, "Finlands Svenska Skolungdomsförbund") which represents Swedish-speaking students in both general and vocational upper secondary education (as well as Swedish-speaking students in the upper classes of primary school, which as a group has no other national representation).

With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
