The new UK government has made public its plans for Higher Education. Teaching budgets are to be slashed, social sciences and humanities undermined, and student fees set to rise from around £3000 to up to £9000 per year. The full privatisation of higher education beckons. The proposals will lead students into massive debts, are likely to deter working class students from attending university, further polarise the University sector, and undermine social sciences and humanities – ‘soft subjects’ not seen as economically productive.
“I will always be against injustices, against inhumane acts and against lies. Therefore I have a vision of an egalitarian world, without hunger or excessive wealth and extreme poverty causing people to kill each other, a world full of unity, solidarity, art and love.”
