The coalition argued that higher tuition fees for university would allow
for less government funding of education without a loss in the quality
of Britain’s ancient institutions. The increased fees were supposed to
end state funding of universities but instead a massive shortfall in
investment has been created due to the levels of unpaid debt that will
be created. From the capitalists’ point of view the only way that this
can be dealt with is through further cuts to higher education.

Announcing... Young artists from the
University of the Arts, Slade School of Art and Edinburgh University
will be holding an exhibition, starting next week in Saint George’s town hall in Shadwell,
East London. The artists in the exhibition at Cable
Street are not only coneying the current political climate but also
connecting it with the long tradition and history of the movement.

2011 will go down in history as the
year of the Arab Spring and could yet go down as the year that also saw
widespread protest and a revolutionary mood develop in Europe, as recent
developments in Spain indicate. For revolutionary socialists this
situation presents an opportunity unlike any seen in decades. Yet such a
situation also poses difficult questions for the activists in the
emerging movements. In particular the seemingly contradictory aims of on
the one hand mobilising as many people as possible and achieving the
clear goals of the movement, and on the other, achieving a revolutionary
change in society

It can only be an accident of history
that last month’s Royal wedding took place on the anniversary of the
marriage of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun. That the Metropolitan police
carried out a number of raids, charging several students with criminal
offences in the same week, is no coincidence. Cover for the police was
provided by the media circus surrounding the wedding. On the other hand
it is clear that the state had been biding its time, waiting for the
distraction of the exam period. The most prominent and outrageous act on
the part of the police was the charging of Alfie Meadows with violent
disorder.

As Socialist Appeal reported in its last issue, since the call for a
National School Student Union (NSSU) was launched earlier this year we
have had quite a response and on the basis of this we helped to organise
a meeting on Friday 15th April, which was an enormous success.

Two weeks ago Adam Booth, Militant
Student supporter and Chair of the Cambridge Marxist Discussion Group,
launched a campaign for the Presidency of Cambridge University Students
Union, on the slogan of a fighting student union committed to opposing
all cuts and fees and broadening the struggle into the wider labour
movement. After three days of polling, Adam came a close second out of
three, polling 1,300 votes to the winner’s 1,600. This was the most
votes of any militant left candidate at Cambridge University in living
memory.

Recent developments at the University
of Glasgow have cut across the relative lull that set upon the student
movement following the mass demonstrations of late 2010. Student
activists occupying an old post-graduate and mature student social club
on the one hand, and the announcement of a raft of cuts on the other,
have provided combustible material that has seen the movement reach a
new plain and wider layers than it previously had.

Following the revolutionary upheavals
that have spread from Tunisia to Egypt, and which are inspiring
solidarity protests throughout the Middle East and the world as a whole,
the University of London Union Marxists decided to postpone their
discussion on Marxism and the State to discuss the revolution in the
Arab world. Egyptian socialist and SOAS student, Walaa Quisay, was
invited to introduce the discussion on a movement that the whole world
is watching.

 In light of the recent student
demonstrations, particularly the events at Milbank tower during the
first protest, the question of "direct action” tactics has once again
been raised.

Joby
Hart, who attends Abbey Grange high school, has been involved with the
recent wave of political activity by school students in Leeds and the
surrounding area. Joby is part of a layer of young people radicalised by
the attacks of the Tory government and its Lib Dem stooges, and brought
into activity by the occupation at Leeds University last year. While
Militant Student is not in full agreement with everything that is said,
Joby is all too aware of the wider implications of the struggle, and the
need for the working class as a whole to come together and defeat this
government. Luke Wilson from the Leeds Trades Council spoke to him.
