As Osborne announces a new round of savage cuts in his autumn statement, Youth Fight Austerity is supporting the Socialist Students call for protests around the country to defend education.
- Abolish fees – tax the rich to fund free education
- Stop all cuts, privatisation and marketisation- Fight the HE green paper and kick big business out
- Living grants for all college and university students
- Make our campuses zero-hour contract free zones – all workers deserve secure jobs paid a minimum wage of at least £10 an hour
- Cap and slash rents, university accommodation must be afoordable for all
- For education that is fully funded, publicly owned, democratically run and universally free at all levels – a socialist education system
- A socialist society for the 99% free from all exploitation, war and oppression
