– There is an annual tradition for the Student Coordination Council to organize a special section. Last year it was the final of the All-Russian Student Dormitory Contest. This year there has been taken a decision to organize the section “Social Standards in Education” as the aim of students' unions is not only to defend students' rights and interests, but to promote legal awareness. We plan to consider all the issues linked to the process of study in an educational institution, - Olesya Sivach notes.
