Press Release Free Education Bloc (National Demo) 10 Nov 10
The National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts has called, alongside London
Student Union Officers, for a Free Education Feeder March starting, today, from
University of London Union (ULU) in Malet Street at 11am. The march will join the main
demonstration contingent at 12.45pm at Horse Guards Avenue.
In its body, the Free Education Feeder March will include, among others, the University
College London, ULU, School of Oriental and African Studies, Birkbeck College,
University of Westminster, London School of Economics and King’s College London
delegations.
Along with these measures are proposed funding cuts of around £2.9 billion.
The NCAFC makes the simple argument for Free Education. Fees force individuals
and families to shoulder the cost of education, while business gets the benefits of that
education effectively for free, and a graduate tax simply transfers this burden to the rest
of the students working-life.
That is why organisations like the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts exist. To
co-ordinate student and academic staff resistance to these cuts and lead a struggle to
stop the implementation of the Browne Review.
