INTRODUCTION

The Student Vanguard is designed to fill the void that exists with the respect to our rights. The Guild of Students has therefore embarked on publishing this document as a source of information on rights.

The Guild Council has therefore embarked on the mass distribution of the Students Vanguard, which comprises of the Guild Constitution, examination review regulations, and extracts of the Students handbook on student rights, freedoms and privileges.

We expect that knowledge of the Constitution will lead to students being aware of the functions and powers of the Guild and therefore its organizational structure and obligations. Concomitantly this knowledge will enable students to be a better watchdog over the Guild.

The Students Vanguard will also serve to outline the rights and freedoms that students have with respect to the administration and hence halt administrative abuse of the students. This occurs particularly with questionable exam papers and results, where students are unaware of what can be done on how to approach the situation.

Yours sincerely,

George Belgrave-Herbert

Publications Chairperson
