As a necessity for self-reorganization and changes in the management and structure of the organization, in 2010, the Secretariat Bureau of the Kurdistan Students Union decided to hold a new congress. As a tradition of the congress, the preparatory committee for the congress was formed, and members were elected to the congress through voting in all organizations of the organization.
The congress began its work on February 24-25, 2010, under the supervision and presence of President Masoud Barzani and with the attendance of 292 representatives in the city of Erbil. In this congress, several changes were made to the method of electing the secretary and the organization's structures, including: the secretary was elected directly by the congress, and the system of organizational structures was aligned with the organizational structure of the Party, meaning that wherever there was a branch and district of the Party, a branch and district of the Kurdistan Students Union should also be opened1.
