A protest against all forms of fees and supporting a non-means tested grant for every student will take place on Tuesday.
EDUCATION IS A RIGHT, NOT A PRIVILEGE
On Tuesday, 30th October at 10.00am, a protest will take place at Examination Schools on High Street, Oxford, against the existence of higher education fees in every form. We believe that every student in the country who wishes to enter higher education must have a non-means tested grant, and that all forms of fees should be abolished, so that education is based solely on one's desire to learn, and not based on their ability to pay.
We believe that comments made by the University Chancellor, Chris Pattern, supporting fees, are highly damaging to the work done by the Oxford University Student Union's "Target Schools" access initiative, which aims to widen access from less-privileged backgrounds.
We believe that every student who wants higher education deserves it, regardless of their financial status.
We fully support the government's target to have 50% of young people in higher education, to expand their opportunities. However, fees must be abolished for this to happen without any fear of debt.
Anyone who supports us is welcome to turn up to Examination Schools on Tuesday 10.00am, where our aim is to block the entrance.
