International education strike network-meeting in Berlin 15.th – 17.th of January 2010

Because of the international Studentsprotest there is the first official international education strike network-meeting at the Humbold University Berlin from the 15.th unitil the 17.th of January 2010. In europe now there are more than 280 universities occupied and the students have claims to those respnsible wich are a must for a sensible education. Worldwide more then 580 universities are participating with the protestactivities. the most of those are also occupied. In Germany, the direct neighbouring country of Austria (whrere the protestactivitieshas their fountainhead) are more than 70 universities occupied and 20 more were occupied wich was evacuated by authority of the state. Those are stil active in other ways. Becouse of more and more sharing of studends and now also non-students, the educationstrike is certified herewith and needed. The universities will still be occupied. The duration of occupation is depends on all involved students and the responsible instances like presidium, rectorate and politician.

The international networking is a part of the worldwide workers- and student movements. The first time after 1968 people from different groups and social positions are geting together in one movement. In th whole world we have the same picture if we take a look to the protestactivities, to the reaction of the people and even politician.The workers and the students are in one point of view, that it is not only a sence to fight together. It is also needed. In the europeen sector there will be organised the worldwide movement within the first official international education strike network-meeting. The strikers are hoping for a paralel development at the other continents and are supporting those.

The necassary technological and technical requirements are worked out by the students together with open source provider. This wil be an event with reports of success and defeat and concrete plannig of the worldwide protests in contents and also temporary. The worldwide movement should have a united time-management-system (TMS) and be public.

The first official international education strike network-meeting in the Humbold University Berlin is the first step of a worldwide protest, wich will massive influence the future of education-poltics. The protest-people are confident in their doing. Eva Fried, student of HU Berlin says: „We are th vinner. It is just a qustion of time. Good to know.“ The most of the occupers are in the same point of view and are waiting and working out intensive on an univerity structure to offer a better altenative to the actual educationsystem. Everywhere there are cultureprograms and familary unities are originated. The occupers are just a worldwide family. It is growing everyday more and more together.

In this sence all involved are hoping for an interessting and revealing weekand in January.

Does anyone of you know if there is anything going on in the Netherlands or University Maastricht in particular. Because I am a first year, I do not realise so much.

For long we have been alienated by systems that claim to help them they refer to as helpless and hopeless through providing education. They have donated lots of money in an attempt to better the education situations in our lands but the funds have caused more damage than good. Education in a land you was not born is a great experience for all parties involved however when unrealistic cost come into play it damages the greater purpose. When one applies for a visa they ask for statements that need to show unrealistic amounts of money. How best can one really get that kind of money, hence the damage. Course are charged twice the amount a normal student in that area pays? in addition to that they also charge international levy? How about that? Education the only chance this world has has been commercialized in the wrongest way imaginable. http://www.universityworldnews.com/article.php?story=20090122192546436 universities in Uganda where ordered by the president to charge every student the same amount of money for fees. And some people feel it is bad for the enconomy of the country? I think some of these our leaders do not actually understand the ethics of leadership they act as though they have never been to school and hence they do not understand the importance of education in this dynamic world. I have heard of the term globalization what does it mean? What is global about globalization if education of all things is not global? Why should we wait for big catastrophes such as the effects of global warming for us to understand that we needed each other to survive or even work together? Education is the backbone of civilization without it civilizations cannot survive. Economic strife amongst all things has chosen education. Access to an education without prejudice is a right for anyone for everyone and for all of us. Let our leaders stop talking the walk but start walking the talk.
