We support the student day of action on 9 December
Pupils from Barnet schools and students at college and university in the borough have joined national days of action to defend education and will do so again on 9 December when Parliament discusses the tuition fees rise.
The students are protesting against attacks on their education and future livelihood including hikes in tuition fees and abolition of the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA).
The students’ action is courageous and we wholly support them in their decision not to take the government’s attacks lying down.
These young people are setting an example to all who do not accept the level of cuts that the government plans. Public sector workers and users of public services should join our young people in protest. We should not and will not leave them to fight alone.
We also deplore any attempts to discipline them for fighting for their own future.
