Abstract

The participation of students in decision making processes in learning institutions has been a subject of debated due to conflicting viewpoints propagated by different stakeholders opinion from different parts of the world (Magadla, 2007). Therefore, the focus here is on the inclusion of learners as decision-makers in univesity governance, helping create space for them to argue deliberatively. It is hoped that the recognition of voices and differences, which is central to our argument, will help to give a voice to the voiceless (the learners). In this article, we focus on the role of learners in univesity governance.
