Occupy Warwick - Condemn Marketization of Education


We have pitched our camp outside the Arts Centre as part of the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts.

We stand in solidarity with the many similar student occupations that are occurring nationwide, and will support the waves of public sector strikes on the 30th.

We will be here until we feel that our views have been expressed. Join us, Warwick. We do not have to accept the way things are.

We condemn the on-going marketization of education. At a time where every other OECD nation but Romania is investing in higher education, the Coalition is making deep and savage cuts into funding, transforming students into customers and blocking access from the poor. We have asked the Vice-Chancellor to sign a pledge to guarantee the following basic tenets of a functioning education system.
