Class Representative System:

The Class Representative System ensures a two-way communication channel to improve the teaching and learning experience continually. Class Representatives are trained to engage with their classmates and lecturers, proactively addressing academic matters. They play a crucial role in escalating issues within academic faculties on behalf of their peers. This role offers students an accessible leadership opportunity outside of traditional student structures.
