Abstract: This study investigated the effectiveness of a student leadership program implemented as a student life department in an international school. This study identifies the difficulties students face while working and proposes strategies to improve the existing program. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews. This study identified various work issues in different departments that may contribute to the program’s effectiveness in schools. This study proposes measures to reform the program, mainly in terms of improving recruitment and training systems to overcome difficulties. The study suggests incorporating an official promotion campaign to encourage more students to join the program, improve the recruitment policy and training courses, and provide practical support for students’ interactions with staff members. The study also highlights the need for a strong training system to prepare students for leadership roles and produce more effective leaders who are molded by the program. The proposed measures aim to produce more effective future leaders molded by the program, benefiting a larger student body than the currently small percentage who take part.
