Nine days are left till Thursday July 26th which is a National Day of Action on the cuts in education spending.

Since the campaign was launched back in May, a number of things have been announced which are going to severely affect the education sector in the future.

First, the overseas students were clobbered with a $1500 fee to pay each year.

Second, the Universities themselves got clobbered, in the case of Vic, with a $400,000 cut to its budget.

Third, more students got hit with a new Tertiary Study Grant system with a basic rate of $23 per week, means tested for a supplementary hardship allowance, and payment of 25% of university fees next year.

Three good reasons for [unclear: supporti] association in its stand for the [unclear: reas] financing of tertiary education [unclear: and] tion overall.
