]]> Comment on Solidarity at Strode College by Duncan Cameron http://unitedforeducation.org.uk/2010/06/22/solidarity-at-strode-college/comment-page-1/#comment-60 Duncan Cameron Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:47:20 +0000 http://unitedforeducation.org.uk/?p=182#comment-60 Thanks Marie. It was a really good day and particularly interesting to talk to so many students about their opinions and understanding of the political situation. Its been a tough half term for many staff as we have already been feeling the cuts sharply in some areas of the college and it was a real boost to come together last Monday and wave balloons and banners to defend education. This won't be the last time.. Duncan (UCU Branch Chair, Strode College) Thanks Marie.

Unfortunately thats the only way we can achieve full awareness of the public for the plight of students and lecturers who will one day prop up this country's economy and effectively become the government of tomorrow. Damn the conservatives and their backward, old fashioned views towards education and the funding it needs!! We should all march on Parliament and get on the news.
