A student union , student government , free student union , student senate , student association , union , or government student body are student organizations that exist in many colleges, universities, and secondary schools. In higher education, union students are often given their own building on campus, dedicated to social, organizational activities, representation, and academic support of membership.
In the United States, the union often refers only to the physical buildings held by the university in order to provide services for students without a governing body. The building is also referred to as a student activity center, although the International Union Associations College (mostly based in the US) has hundreds of campus organization members. Outside the US, student unions and unions refer to the representative body, which is different from the student activity center .

Depending on the country, the group's goals, assemblies, methods, and implementation may vary. Universally, the goal of a student union or student government is to represent fellow students in a certain way.
In some cases, student unions are run by students, independent of educational facilities. The purpose of these organizations is to represent students both within the institution and externally, including on local and national issues. The student unions are also responsible for providing various services to students. Depending on the organizational structure, students may engage in unions by becoming active on a committee, by attending councils and rallies, or by becoming an elected officer.
Some student unions are politicized bodies, and often serve as a training ground for aspiring politicians. Student unions generally have the same goals regardless of the degree of politicization, usually focusing on providing students with facilities, support, and services.
Some student unions often officially recognize and allocate annual budgets to other organizations on campus. In some institutions, graduate students are in general student unions, whereas in others they have their own postgraduate graduate agencies. In some cases, graduate students have no formal representation in the student administration.

Elections are held every year, usually in September, to elect representatives for MPP. Percentage turnout of voters is usually high (70 to 95 percent) mainly due to enforcement from university management who, at the same time, acts as the Electoral Committee.
Every year, the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education will arrange meetings and organize programs with all MPPs. However, each MPP has its own autonomous right to govern its own membership. The size of MPP differs from each university, starting from at least 12 to 50. All MPP members are part-time and unpaid employees.

The student association has a strong history in New Zealand in terms of political involvement, especially the Halt All Racist Tours campaign during the 1981 Spring Tour. All universities, and most educational polytechnics and academies have student associations. Since the economic reforms of the 1990s and the introduction of paying users in higher education, student associations and national agencies have shifted their focus to challenging injustices in student loan schemes and high student debt levels. Part-time work in addition to the introduction of internal assessments and changes to semester structures has been attributed to decreased involvement in extracurricular activities and the shifting focus of the student movement from mass protests to the lobby.
Prior to membership of the 1998 Student Association (pep) is mandatory in all public Tertiary Education Providers (universities, polytechnics and educational colleges). In 1997, the center-right national party proposed an amendment of Voluntary Student Membership to the Education Act which would make Voluntary Student Association membership in all Tertiary Education Providers.
But the National Party relies on the support of the center-right New Zealand First Party to pass legislation. New Zealand The first party would prefer that the Tertiary Students themselves choose whether their provider should be voluntary or compulsory and encourage through compromise on amendments that allow a voluntary compulsory referendum to be held in every common Tertiary Education Provider. This amendment also allows a subsequent referendum that can not be held until at least two years has passed since the previous referendum and only if the petition is signed by 10% of the student population.
The first wave of referendums was held in 1999, where several Polytechnics and two Universities (Waikato University and Auckland University) chose to be voluntary. In 2002, a second referendum was held at Waikato University and students chose to return to compulsory student membership. Similar referendums at Auckland University in 2001, 2003 and 2005 were all selected to retain voluntary student membership.

Finnish
French
The organization of the center of the French higher education system means that local university bodies have limited decision-making power. As a result, student unions are generally established at the national level with local sections in most universities. The largest national student association has a strong political identity and their actions are generally limited to advocating their vision of higher education rather than focusing on the special interests of university membership. Union membership is regarded as basically political, with no special advantage for students. The strength of unions is often measured by its effectiveness in national protests and not by membership numbers.
There is also a class struggle-class struggle like Solidaires ÃÆ' â € ° tudiant-es (formed in January 2013 through a mix of former SUD organizations ÃÆ'â € tudiant and FÃÆ'Ã… © deration syndicale ÃÆ' Â © tudiante (FSE)) who refused to work the same as the direction of the university and work to organize the students.
At Grandes ÃÆ' Â © coles, a premium league in the French higher education system, students are generally members of the Official Student Office (Bureau des ÃÆ' Â © tudiants or Bureau des ÃÆ'Â © lÃÆ'¨ves) in charge of the organization of social events and sporting events. The constitution of this society, working in close partnership with school administration, usually prevents union members from running for executive positions to keep schools independent of political groups that could jeopardize school prestige.

Furthermore, the Student Union organizes and supports activities such as political debate, demonstrations, university work, educational talks, cultural and art events, conferences and so on.
The structure of the Student Union is rather simple and consists of two bodies: the General Assembly of Students (Greek) and the board of directors. The General Assembly consists of all Union members. This happens on a regular basis and is the only decision-making body. During the General Assembly, many topics of student interest are discussed and decisions are taken after an open vote. The Board of Directors ensures that the General Assembly's decision will come true.

Canada
In Canada, membership in a student or university union is mandatory in Canada under various provincial laws. Included in the tuition of Canadian students is anywhere from an additional $ 10- $ 500 fee to pay for union services. Money earned from dues is often used to support staff and offices. Student elections usually take place around March because the membership selects their union executives. The number of student voters for the selection of students is low for all institutions. The largest graduate student union currently in Canada is the York Student Federation, at the University of York, with some 49,000 members.
Most student unions are charged by their membership to protect their best interests at university, city, provincial and federal levels. Many student unions in Canada are members of one of the national student organizations, the Alliance of the Canadian Student Association (CASA) or the Canadian Student Federation (CFS). Those included in the CFS at the national level are also included in the CFS at the provincial level. Those who do not belong to the CFS may belong to a provincial student organization such as the New Brunswick Student Alliance, Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA), Alliance of College Students, Students (formerly known as ANSSA), British Columbia Student Alliances, Alberta University Student Council, or Executive Board Alberta Students. In Quebec, the provincial student organization is the University of Quebec Student Federation (FÃÆ'  © dà © à © ration ÃÆ'  © tudiante universitaire du QuÃÆ'  © bec or FEUQ) for students, students are represented by FÃÆ'  © dÃÆ' © ration ÃÆ'  © tudiante collÃÆ' © giale du QuÃÆ'  © bec or FECQ, while the Association devotes solidaritÃÆ' © syndicale ÃÆ'  © tudiante or ASSE is a more radical organization that covers students from both levels of education.
Different provinces have different rules governing student unions. In British Columbia under Section 27.1 of the University Act, student unions may only raise or cancel the cost of unionized compulsory students through a democratic referendum of membership. After the costs are incurred through this mechanism, the Board of Governors of each institution is then required to send the fee to the student union, and can only interfere in the internal affairs of the student union if it fails to complete its annual financial audit. , giving the students union autonomy to their institution. In Ontario, student union autonomy is governed by standards outlined by individual institutions, giving University administrators a wider range of powers of student union finance.
Mexico
In Mexico, the student union is mostly at the university. Mexican universities have selected student committees every year, but faculty or schools within the university also have their own union. This practice is also extended to other educational levels, such as high and high schools, but to a lesser extent. An example of this is the Sociedad de Alumnos de HPA Mexico.
Jesuit student groups played an important role in Mexican history, particularly in opposing the imposition of socialist education in Mexico in the 1930s. The leaders of the UniÃÆ'³n Nacional de Estudiantes CatÃÆ'³licos (UNEC) have long-term interests in Mexico's political history, as some of them helped form the conservative National Action Party (Mexico).
