The school council is defined as a governance institution to exercise the right to represent school ownership, monitor activities and orient development strategies. At each level of education, the role of the school council is established according to its own characteristics.

In public kindergartens and primary schools, the school council has the function of deciding on the direction of activities, mobilizing and monitoring resources, ensuring the connection between the school and society and the community. The council members include representatives of many parties such as the Party Committee, trade unions, professional groups, local authorities, parents, etc.
