Education Action Calendar July 18-23
Education is a right! Give us a cost-of-living increase!
Stop the Education Cut-backs!
Those are this week's themes, as we spread the word about the inadequacy of student bursaries, and protest about the huge inroads the Government is making into education.
On Friday we have the chance to make cur protest known. It was only by assembling protests of 10 000 across the country that we forced the Government to give us the Standard Tertiary Bursary, and only by applying the same kind of pressure can we make the bursary into a realistic income.
The message is: March on July 23!
