Student Concessions

A Total of 500,000 student identity cards have been issued in the last two years. Jyoti Singh told the second technical session of the International Student Conference. These entitled their holders to a variety of concessions, particularly in regard to travel. The actual level of concession gained depended on the national unions in the countries concerned.

Nigeria told the conference that the sale of the cards to students was an important source of revenue for the Nigerian Union of Students.

A New Zealand delegate asked if someone would be able to instruct the New Zealand University Students' Association on the technique of obtaining travel concessions from Airline authorities. The secretariat suggested that New Zealand consult with the UK delegates.
