The term "student voice" refers to the ability for students to express their opinions, ideas and concerns in a formal or informal setting. It is often used to describe opportunities for students to participate actively in decision-making processes that affect them directly such as curriculum development, school policies, and classroom practices. Student voice can also refer to the ways in which students communicate their perspectives on issues of importance to them, including academic matters, social justice concerns or extracurricular activities. By providing opportunities for student voice, educators aim to empower young people to take an active role in shaping their educational experiences and foster a sense of agency and engagement within the learning process.
