"No Fees! No Cuts! No Debt!"
Aberdeen students go to the National Demo for Free Education!
We're providing coach-spaces for students from Aberdeen to travel cheaply and safely down to London.
The bus will leave Butchart, Aberdeen on Tuesday (18th) evening, and return on the evening of Wednesday (19th) so you can be in classes on Thursday. Students from Aberdeen Uni who want to attend the demo but have classes on Wednesday will be provided with a class-exemption letter signed by the Vice-Principal for Learning and Teaching.

NATIONAL STUDENT DEMO
Wednesday 19 November, 12noon, central London
The march will assemble at Malet Street at around 12noon and march round Russell Square, down Kingsway to the Strand, and then to Trafalgar Square, Whitehall and ending at Parliament by 4pm.
Organised by:
The Student Assembly Against Austerity

Supported by the National Union of Students Scotland (NUS Scotland).
The demonstration will take place under the banner of ‘Free Education: No fees. No cuts. No debt’.
It will take place on Wednesday 19th November in central London.
The move marks an escalation of opposition to the government’s programme of fees and privatisation in education and will provide a spark for further action. Students are planning a wave of occupations and localised direct action alongside the demonstration in autumn term, and are also mobilising for a trade union demonstration on Saturday October 18th.
