In 2016, the University of Ljubljana Student Council performed all tasks laid down by the University of Ljubljana Statute. We also responded to current issues in the Slovenian higher education system.
The harmonisation and adoption of a new University of Ljubljana Statute became a permanent activity of the Student Council presidency and senator students, members of the University of Ljubljana Senate. Novelties relating to the adoption of the Statute were monitored at regular meetings, where constructive proposals and criticism were put forth.
We cooperated well with work groups, particularly members of University Senate commissions, who reported regularly to our president on developments at commission meetings. Together, we coordinated responses and prepared contents and arguments. We also cooperated successfully with the University of Ljubljana Career Centres. We are proud of the joint ‘Education for tutors and tutor coordinators’ project, which is the first attempt to transfer good practices and experiences between University Members and different methods of tutelage.
We participated actively in the work group of the Council of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia for student issues and, later on, in one of the working bodies of that group. Our proposals and knowledge contributed to the drafting of two new acts. Firstly, we participated in the preparation of an amending the Higher Education Act and later in the drafting and amendments to the Students Association Act.
The University of Ljubljana Student Council met at seven regular meetings, while the presidency met regularly with members of work groups, University Senate commissions, and University representatives, which was key to good work and fast flow of information.
