National Student Protest - stop cutting our education: Tues 20 Aug

Join the National Union of Students and the National Tertiary Education Union to protest $2.8 billion in cuts to higher education and demand better for the tertiary sector. This event has been endorsed by the Student Guilds at Curtin, UWA, Murdoch & ECU.

NO CUTS
To funding, staff or courses

MORE FUNDING
Fund our universities and fund our future

EDUCATION FOR ALL
We need to raise student welfare, reinstate start up scholarships and provide far greater support for Indigenous students. Capping places limits access to education and does nothing to address the lack of base funding.

Buses will leave from
Curtin
UWA
ECU, Joondalup
Murdoch
(more details to follow)

CURTIN
Rally at Bentley campus 12pm at the roundabout near Robertson library.
Buses to the cross-campus rally will leave at 12:30PM

***

Australia ranks among the lowest of OECD countries with regards to higher education funding, at just 0.7% of GDP; if the Federal Government is serious about a smarter Australia then it must commit further funding to tertiary education, not remove it. And a recent study from Universities Australia shows students are wallowing in debt, some unable to meet even basic living expenses.

On August 20 staff and students all around the country are standing up for our rights to fair work and a quality education.

JOIN US. TAKE ACTION. FIGHT THE CUTS.
