The notion of student leadership is an emerging trend in the field of education. This notion emerges from democratic classrooms. A student leader is seen as one who finds his / her voice for contribution in school activities. Researchers believe that students are co-responsible in the learning process in schools. If schools give the opportunity to students to develop leadership skills and value their voice, this can also enhance the process of learning in schools. A general impression is that schools consider students as empty vessels and there are few opportunities for students in developing countries. All the efforts are to fill these vessels with the knowledge.
