Five Points explaining the reasons why AUSC must Exist:

The need for an African Union Student Council (AUSC)

By Tangang Andrew

Youths between the ages of 15 to 35 constitute more than half of the total population in the Central African sub-region (Middle Africa), most of them students. Their contribution to development in this sub-region is minimal because of the following reasons:

-          Lack of interest and information as just 1 of every 10 of students know about the SDGs;

-          Lack of participation structures as most if not all countries in this region do not have structures like National Student Associations. The Youth Councils address youth concerns as a whole with little or no concern for students thus the voices of students are missing;

-          Lack of adequate financial and technical resources, and capacities to fully engage.

The African Union Student Council (AUSC) is of the essence because:

-          It would represent the voices of all the African students at the level of the AU, the United Nations, the Commonwealth, La Francophonie and other organizations;

-          It would mobilise resources to support student initiatives towards attaining the AU Agenda 2063, the SDGs, and develop mechanisms to better inform students on these development plans;

-          It would develop a training programme to enhance the capacities of student leaders across the continent towards achieving Agenda 2013, the SDGs and other national development plans;

-          It would be a forum for African students to share experiences and good practices as far as fostering the Agenda 2063, SDGs and national development plans are concerned.

The UN Secretary General referred to the youths as the ‘torch bearers of the SDGs’, and the AU Agenda 2063 depends on the capacity of the African youths to fully engage. The AUSC stands out as an indispensable organ for the African students to contribute their quota to achieving the Agenda 2063 and the SDGs.

THE REASONS WHY AFRICAN UNION STUDENTS COUNCIL MUST EXIST

1.      In bringing African students together. Since Africa is a continent with lots of youth, and most youth are in higher institutions and most are eager to involve in different activities taking part in their continent. (This includes bringing African students learning outside of Africa to take role in such activities).

2.      In making African youth voice heard. Students share and discuss and promote their ideas as well problems and endeavors around their communities and surroundings.

3.      In representing African students where possible. Currently there is no such a youth organization representing African students in summits like the African Union, G20 and others. So we need AUSC in doing such activities in representing students and addressing issues related with students.

4.      In creating a platform for African students in exchanges of cultures,conducting educational researches, making partnerships and creating networks and accomplishingAGENDA2063 in building the Africa we want to see.(In collaboration with African Union).

5.      In addressing issues like climate change, food security and campaigns on how the African youth should fight poverty in creating a developed Africa where the youth will take leadership roles in the continent.

6.     In representing and promoting the educational, social, economic and cultural interests of students at the African level towards all relevant bodies including the African Union.

Honorable Mr Samjeh Oswald Babilla, AUSC Cameroon National Representative 

He wishes to apply for the post office of the AUSC Cameroon National Representative of Cameroon. 

Is a student from the University of Buea, presently a third year student of the faculty of health sciences university of Bamenda, the general Lab supervisor of Government high school Atiela, and a Cameroon General Certificate of Education practical Examiner.

Reasons why AUSC should exist , is because AUSC is the notion of the youths being the leaders of tomorrow : 

1. To help bring about continental integration through the initiative to train the youths on leadership and handling of international youth affairs through the AUSC.
2. It is a backbone of strength to the weaken arm of African government
3. To help to bring about international problem solving by sharing ideal solutions and so help better Africa
4.  It aims to necessitate the paradigm shift from the old order of doing things to a more dynamic approach aimed at correcting the wrongs bedeviling the black race.
5. Aimed at bringing about a viable resolution to African socio-economic and political malaise devoid of personal or elite interests.

6. It raise international patriotic concern in the African youths to cumber woes including, among other things the travails of building a formidable regional government, war, environmental degradation, poor governance, military autocracy, desertification, trafficking in persons, political instability and mutual suspicionthat clearly spells doom for the smooth progress, growth, development and sustainability of the African sub-regions at large.

7. The AUSC “For the better Africa we deserve” is an arm that will raise the search in the African youths for the much-cherished peace, progress and development in our continent.

8. It will get African youths to understand themselves before embarking on the more complicated and more difficult arrangement oftaking practical steps in economic, educational, scientific and cultural cooperation to development Africa.

9. It will bring about the beginning of Africans unity by raising youths for a better Africa in each country.

10. It will facilitate the achievement of goals of rapid self-reliance, self-sustained development and economic growth by major organizations such as the AU, thus laying the foundation of regional socio-economic integration of Africa.Thusensure rapid socio-economic and cultural integration of the African continent and promote collective, accelerated, self-reliant and self-sustaining development of member-States, as well as cooperation among these states and their integration in the economic, social and cultural fields.

11. It will bring about a feasible political union among students of Africa for the betterment of the continent.

12. It raises emphasis on the effective participation of the African students in cooperation and development thereby bringing Pan-Africanism as an essential missing link among sovereign states in Africa.
