Israel's National Student and Youth Council ((ヘブライ語:מועצת התלמידים והנוער הארצית), ''Mo'etzet HaTalmidim VeHaNo'ar HaArtzit'') is an elected body representing the Israeli students and youth in Israel from the 7th grade to the 12 grade〔(מועצת התלמידים והנוער הארצית | אתר עמותת במתנ"ה )〕 in front of the Israeli decision makers of the Ministry of Education and in other government offices. The Council, which was established in 1993, operates under the Society and Youth Administration of the Ministry of Education. The Council is an umbrella organization for all the Israeli regional youth councils, and student councils. The council's representatives are elected democratically and annually from the district youth councils (Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Center, Haifa, Arab sector, South, and North). The council comprises youth from the different sectors: religious, secular, Jewish, Arab, Druze and a Bedouin representative. The National Youth Council representatives mediate between Government decision makers and the Youth representatives. the council representatives, as the official representatives of the Israeli youth, regularly take part in meetings dealing with a wide range of issues which all relate to Israeli students and youth.〔(מהי המועצה? )〕 Those meetings take place with the Minister of Education, in the committees of the Ministry of Education, in various Knesset conferences, and in addition they participate in various meetings of Knesset committees (especially in The Knesset Committee on Education, Culture and Sport, The Knesset Committee on Child Rights, The Knesset Committee on Drug Abuse, as well as the Transportation Subcommittee in The Knesset Committee for Economy). The representatives mostly participate in committees dealing with youth-related issues such as: children's rights, violence, delinquency and youngsters at risk - cut off from mainstream youth. Israel's national student and youth council is the first youth council in the world that made student rights legislation.〔(Controversy Brews over Israel's Pupils Rights Law - NTDTV.com )〕 == History == The National Council consists of 45 members elected from 7 district Youth Councils (North, Haifa, Center, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, South and Arab Sector). Those councils in turn are chosen from the Youth Councils of the towns, cities, and local area councils (Administrative areas enclosing, kibbutz's and moshavim) in that district. Any such municipal area council is itself elected from the Student Councils of the schools in the area, as well as representatives from local youth movements or any other youth organizations. Students Councils, of course, are elected from within the student body of the school. This method ensures both fair representation at every level for students from every locale and background, and easy and swift communication and co-operation between the various councils. The entire system of councils is estimated to contain some 20-30,000 representatives around the country. Every council, from the school through to the national, adheres strictly to democratic procedure. The secretariat, including, but not restricted to, chairman, vice-Chairman, speaker, general secretary and critic, as well as the representatives to the next level council, are elected for each council by its members. Each and every council functions according to a codex of rules which has been voted on, and is in compliance with the "super-codex", voted upon by the "Veyida" of councils. The Veyida is the ultimate source of democratic authority of the councils - an annual congress of some 700 representatives from every council in the country, which decides upon the policy of the National Council for the year. Each council has a representative role. Has a constituency. The National represents all the students in any and all institutions of relevancy, such as the Knesset, various government ministries and bodies, first and foremost the Ministry of Education (A sub-section of which provides the council with logistical support.), the media, etc. A district council works in a similar way on a regional level. A local council does the same, representing the youth and the students in the city or municipality. A school council does so in a school, acting as the student voice to the teachers and management, on any and all issues, from deciding to which hour a school party will continue, to choosing whether to institute a school uniform, to negotiating the details of a student strike. Such rigidly democratic institutions are necessary, living up to the legality given to the existence of councils in the "Law of Student Rights", due to the nature of Council activities, which can be split roughly into two spheres: representative and activist. In 2006 graduates of the Israel's national student and youth council founded an association named Bematana. The association's mission is to promote young leaders who are elected as representatives in student and youth councils in Israel. in 2012 the Israel's national student and youth council held the International Youth Leadership Conference under the slogan "Take The Lead!" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Israel's National Student and Youth Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
