The planned protest demonstration on June 5438+065438+1October 2 1 0+065438+1October is the first demonstration convened by the Students' Union since it protested against tuition fees.
That year's parade eventually turned violent. A group of radical youths smashed windows, threw attacks and set fire to the Conservative Party headquarters building.
This also led to 60 people being arrested and dozens injured and taken to hospital.
The All-China Federation of Students condemned the violence, but also said that the March organized with the University and College Alliance (UCU) was "used" by a small group of people.
A new round of demonstrations
Now that two years have passed, President Burns of the Student Union told the members by video, "You have many reasons to be angry."
He said, "The coalition government systematically attacked your education. Even if you can reach the other side, what can you yearn for? "
Burns also said, "The youth unemployment rate has reached the highest level in history. It is almost impossible to climb the ladder of buying a house. We can't even count on the safety net of pensions now. "
Burns also pointed out that it is time to start setting your own schedule.
Sally Hunt, secretary general of the Union of Universities and Colleges, said, "We support the protest of the National Union of Students and understand the setbacks faced by many students."
Hunter also pointed out that "although many countries are investing heavily in education, our government is reducing the number of places in universities and colleges to make it more expensive to go to universities."
She said, "government ministers need to make higher education provide opportunities and futures for young people."
