Swearing in the Student Government

Last week we talked about ways student government looks different at FyA 44 than it did at my high school. This week the student government was sworn in and I have a few more things to add to the list.

The student government is sworn in with an oath to “God, the fatherland, and the educational institution.” This is the same way that the brigadiers (basically prefects) are sworn in.

The oath of office is administered to the student mayor by the actual mayor. The student mayor then swears in his cabinet.

The student government gets swag. Specifically rainbow sashes.* Check it out:

*Remember that in Cusco, the rainbow flag is the flag of Tawantinsuyo, the Incan Empire. It has nothing to do with homosexuality.
