STUDENTS RIGHTS

Because students are the most important part in the educational process they must be taken into account seriously by those who are administrating universities. The students also have to be treated as part of the selection group of teachers and curriculum. They should be questioned about the planning and scheduling in order to hear their opinions since that affect their lives, those have to be flexible and convenient. After all, students have been a support in certain moments when conflicts requiered their voices as in 1960´s and 1970´s when they demonstrated fearful against injustices.
