Description
Stop the cuts: join the coalition to defend education
Day of action: 21 June 2010
Education is under attack.

* Over £1bn has been cut from higher education budgets over the next three years.
* Thousands of jobs already gone.
* Thousands more at risk.
* For the first time in decades our education system is shrinking and the barriers to access are rising.
* Current and future generations are at risk of being locked out of our education system.

Staff and students have united in an unprecedented sector-wide coalition
to oppose the cuts.

ATL, GMB, EIS, NUS, UCU, UNITE and UNISON have joined forces to defend education.
