We are calling for an EU-wide strike of students and pupils in December. We are looking for translators in all EU languages and for people who can write articles about the situation at schools and universities in their country.

We are calling for an EU-wide strike of students and pupils in December. We are looking for translators in all EU languages and for people who can write articles about the situation at schools and universities in their country. This weekend we will publish the call for the strike. In Germany some of the big student- and pupilunions will support the strike. In Austria some of the big unions are very enthousiastic about the idea as well. Reason for the call to strike is the new GATS negotiations by the European Union and other WTO members that are a threat for education...Privatisation of healthcare and education is the magic word of the GATS treaty.

Bo! Keep us up to date on UK indymedia - send more details etc. Motions can be passed by University Student Unions in general meetings to push for such things. I know that a motion has called for action against GATS already - perhaps this works in the framework of whats planned. If not, get your SU to push anti-GATS motions through ,cos universities will be the first to go private (they already are to much an extent).
