A Prefect is a student leader in schools, often responsible for maintaining discipline and assisting teachers. They are typically chosen from older students and serve as role models for their peers. Prefects may help organize school events and support younger students, fostering a positive school environment. In some educational systems, such as in the United Kingdom, the role of a prefect is formalized, with specific duties and responsibilities. They may also be involved in the Student Council and represent the student body in discussions with school administration. This position helps develop leadership skills and encourages a sense of responsibility among students.
