The main task of our Head of Educational Politics (also known as “kopo”) is to advocate JSBE students’ rights and convey information about studies to different parties. Kopo, together with his division, participates in different meetings to make sure that student rights and their views are also considered in decision making. Division of Educational Politics runs a kopoforum where members will be informed about educational politics related matters – it’s a place for members to speak their mind and tell their wishes that could be forwarded to JSBE’s and university’s faculty members. The role of kopo is not to act only in JSBE but on the whole university level, or even take a stand on a national problem.
