Fees, Cuts & Privatisation:
IS THIS THE BEST EDUCATION WE CAN GET?
DISCUSSION AT CARDIFF SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM, CARDIFF UNIVERSITY.
CARDIFF WIDE ASSEMBLY FOR EDUCATION
The protests, walkouts and occupations of last term were just the first chapter in a much longer struggle for the right to education and against the Con Dem austerity.
...
In 2011 university and college managements are gearing up to implement massive fees increases and cuts, students and staff are faced with vicious attacks on courses, jobs and the structure of our education. In England, EMA is to be abolished, while across Britain many from poorer families are being priced out of education.
We see the increasing presence of corporate interests on our campuses and the constant drive to put the needs of the market above the vitial needs of students and staff.
The first Cardiff Assembly for Education is open to students, staff and all supporters of our movement: let’s get together and discuss the future of education and how we can fight for it.
The struggle has begun..............
"Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today." - Malcolm X

REX PHILLIPS - NASUWT Wales Organiser (Teachers Trade Union)
